Re: Need another f4i radiator
it leaks from 2 spots, both very slowly. One spot is from the cap, because that opening is no longer perfectly round. The other spot is somewhere on the left side that I cant even find. The fan recently kicked the bucket now too, so thats 3 strikes against this one.

I PM'd you earlier but Vat dont got one. If I get my radiator cage figured out I might part with my close to minty one but lemme see what happens tomorrow. Obviously keep looking coz Im not 100% sure I wanna get rid of it. You should ask smoke if he got a spare coz he's trying to sell his bike.

Re: Need another f4i radiator
I fucked mine up coz I had it mounted to the bike with the stock mounting tabs and then I zup tied it as well. I shouldnt have mounted it to the stock tabs coz even with the zippy ties I still fucked the tabs up. And then from crashing so much I didnt realize one of the big zip ties popped off on a big flip flop drop so there was only one zippy tie holding it on and eventually trhe tabs just ripped right off BUT we're also talking about MikeM here. I guess you never seen his bike lmao. I got my radiator cage in today so I'll never **** up a radiator again (hopefully) and I wont have a bunch of huge zip ties on the bitch.

Re: Need another f4i radiator
if you dont use the tabs, and ONLY use zip ties, they last a couple years. the one im using now has good tabs, but still developed a couple leaks around the edges, just from so many crashes
