I would like to know where to get it repaired, and whether they can actually be repaired?

In the auckland region prefferably

Pull the rad off and give me a yeodle I use shore radiators. Um might hyave to take it to a ally specialist

You get that today?

Bugger, what bad luck mate. You got home alright then?

Got your reply in the other thread. Mate, what a pain. Least you got it home alright.

Not good getting a hole in the rad at 600kms.

Can you get rad covers for those things. Seems a little vulnerable aye.

Albany Radiators specialise in alloy radiators,seeing as it's so new it may be a repairable proposition.

gunna give the Albany lot a holla this week... funny thing though... loosebruce was there when I picked it up... he told me to get a rad protector, he learnt the hard way... I was to slow it would seem.

and yeah, the knead it got me home! cheers for that FROSTY

Yep.It'll need fixing alright

Sorry if this sounds like the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff, but I reckon you can't go past the " Radguard", a bloke in Aussie makes them. About AUD$195.00 from memory. I've had them on my last 3 gixxers, and they keep the radiator looking brand new. Bummer about your misfortune

Bahahaha, shit thats funny man!

I brought some special weld for mine, death still has it, get it off and give it too me or death and we'll fix it up aight, gimmie some coin and i'll make ya a guard as well, i'm about to get some mesh for mine and the sheet of mesh is enough to make two guards out of! Cant remeber how much but it'd be less than $20 easy. No point spending over $100 buck on one when this one does the same job and looks the same!
