Help! I need a right rad (the one with the fill cap) before Thursday so I can fix the bike this weekend. My existing one cracked. Anyone a dealer/have one in stock they can ship 3-day today? Thanks |

JB weld won't hold up. Tried that. Need a new rad. Imperial doesn't have one that's not already pretty banged up. Really need a new one. |

Ugh, dealer called back: None in the US, back order only. Looks like I'm going to start parting out that B-Bike after all! |

Glad I had the 'right' one. I honestly thought it was a left one when i saw this thread that's why i wanted to check it before i committed here. |

Funny thing is, I saw this failure coming a couple of service cycles ago, and pre-ordered a right rad from American Sport Bike. They sent a left! So, imagine my surprise when I opened the box finally and... ugh... wrong one! I called them back to order a right yesterday -- lead time in the couple of weeks! Even my local dealer confirmed they were on BO. It's always good to keep spares on hand... I got caught out with my pants down this time. |
