Hi Again,


well, that pesky single radiator in my TLR is on its last legs
seems that the front wheel is determined to eat it [xx(]


so im wondering if anyone has ever gotten a completely custom rad built?
would need to be shaped something like this to "hug" the front cylinder head
(this is off a ducati 749 racebike)

would prefer a sexy curvy one, but it isnt necessary


anyways, who should i contact u think?
PWR? Bikerads?

Fuck me, that radiator is ridiculous, 2 more centimeteres on each side and they'd be wings.

No wonder they call'em Duck's

There was a guy in Steel St at Blacktown that was making bike radiators awhile ago. I saw a VN800 radiator that the guy made and the quality was really good. Got no other details but there can't be too many in that area that make rads.

Not Sure Fimp but I was looking for some-one to rebuild a mates Z13 rad and sprintcar builders were recomended to me but I never followed it up.

yeah, burtons etc dont seem keen (and not in ali so...)


might take some measurements tonight and see what happens
if i go a custom flat one i can make it nice and thick so it wouldnt need to be very large from the front ;)

I had a custom water/air intercooler and heat exchanger(radiator) done by racing radiators in Dandenong , thought the prices were ok for what was done.

That was done in 02 so the prices may not be quite right but it cost $320 for both sections of the intercooler.I think that was prettygood rates for an interesting project (bit like mates rates! )
