Fabricating radiators?

admin

I am looking into doing a project for a friend, modifying or fabricating a motorcycle radiator. The problem I am having is locating a place to purchase radiator core. Anyone know where I can buy lightweight aluminum radiator core? Thanks!

If you have no luch finding a rad core check these out.http://www.bellintercoolers.com/pages/lacore.htmlYou could also try someone who makes custom intercoolers and see if they can sell you a core or sugest someone who can.Lincoln precision TIG 275Millermatic 140 MIG
Reply:transmission coolers are about the size of some motorcycle radiators.  I dont know if you can run anti-freeze thats meant for radiators in tranny coolers though.  but tranny coolers are readily available from your autoparts store

Reply:Bump, still on the lookout for a good source for aluminum radiator core.
Reply:just put two on there, like the Honda VFR.  I ride mine naked (bike naked, not me) and there's no cooling issue at all.  if you're gonna have one that extends all the way down low, might as well carry two.  do you have a weight limit?  VFR is a pig!are you modding CBR's?  or just general 600 i-4's?
