Gidday all.
After a lowside thanks to some rather irritatingly placed gravel, my poor 2006 SV650N is in need of a new radiator.
The current one is intact, but the mounts have been torn off and it's rather twisted.

I've found a 2003/04 SV650 radiator on trademe and I was wondering if it would fit?
Since the 2003 onwards have much the same frame as far as I'm aware I thought it might fit, but googling hasn't brought me any concrete answers.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

It might pay to get it welded up by someone who knows what they're doing.

It will probably fit, but will be about 40 mm wider. The 2005 onwards SV 650 radiators were narrower than the 2003/4.

Thanks guys, I had a closer look and yeah the 2003/04 is huuuge!
I managed to find a radiator made by Delkevic that's a straight OEM swap, and half the cost of a Suzuki one!
Currently winging its way here from China according to track n trace....

Hi there...

Did the same thing to my 2004 and the radiator is stupidly expensive to replace with the actual brand name part, how did your one work out? Save the money and get the one from China? Did you put it in yourself? If so was it pretty straight forward?
