hole in radiator and warped front wheel? what to do
ok so i got a hole in the radiator where the mount strap ripped free, and it appears my front wheel is warped, i got a pretty nasty shake from about 30-55 , especially if i let handlebars go, could the warped rim do that? should i fix these or will they be ok to leave alone? also when i took the calipers off to spin the tire, i tried to put them back on, the right side lined up fine, however, on the left side, clutch lever side, the lower bolt, towards the ground, the hole doesn't line up right, seems like it is off just a bit, any suggestions on that

First things first, buy or build a radiator cage, because the stock mounts are junk and rip off.. Then you can either have a radiator shop braze the radiator shut, or try to jb weld it, or buy another radiator.
A bent front wheel isn't good either, shouldn't affect you for wheelies obviously, but I wouldn't be doing stoppies on it.

If it's not leaking you are good, my friends 2 mounts broke off and his never leaked
mine didn't break off and mine ended up leaking, mine just pulled the fins apart.. I ended up jb welding and it lasted forever..
Also definitely get a radiator cage on it!
