Looking for some first hand experience with the eBay radiators. Are they any good, how do they line up ect. Bashed in my right radiator pretty good. Bike is a 12 kx450f. Also any other recommendations for radiators would be great.

Thanks in advance

I have a set on my '11 RMZ450. They fit fine and are surprisingly nice, but I did have one install issue. The stock RMZ radiator louver on the left side has a formed bottom that matches the OEM radiator. So it wouldn't fit right with the replacement and I had to trim it to fit.

Other than that small issue with the louver they've been fine and I've used them for 2 seasons.

On my yz they sat about 1/2" lower, so I put a small dent in my pipe to clear. Other than that, perfect replacement.

Look on thumpertalk, there's pretty much a thread on gpi radiators for every make and model.

Ask Peely about a place in Utah that fixes radiators. It's been easily 10 years, but I remember a place up there that would fix your OEM rad back up perfectly.

Myler's radiator repair

These guys do awesome work. Also free RC helicopter with 150$ order. NO ONE else in the industry has an offer that good.

I believe there's a thread 30 pages long on TT about the GPI rads and the general census was they are good. Some people had issues with them not fitting, but they returned them and got a new set that fit fine. Everyone says they have lasted years and are excellent for the money. $120 for two rads? Sign me up when mine get destroyed.

I bashed my left raditor, and found a company in florida that sold me a brand new for 100 bucks. it was better than the stock that came on my yz450f. Im still using that raditor til this day. so yea ebay is awsome for that. when i was trying to buy the one that came stock on my yamaha i had to buy both sides.

But on ebay buy new never used items especailly raditors. but the company i bought from on ebay made their own raditors. it mounted up perfect. except my shroud on the left kinda bowed outward abit. not noticable at all.
so yea ebay is the place for hard to get items for me

Do you feel lucky? Roll the dice and take a chance. Chinese parts vary from good to so-so- to won't come close to mounting

Bought a set of the China radiators for our display. Very soft aluminum so I suspect they bend really easy
