Cheap Chinese Rads

Post by robertg »

Anyone ever use them? They are the same price as beat up used ones.

There's several people selling them. Do 450 rads bolt up like 250 rads? I like the small crossover on top. They look like they would work better with the dual head outlets.

i havent bolted the 450 rad to the 250f, cant imagine a problem, they are the same spacing as 125+250, same outlet size as 250, and the widths of gen2+3 are all the same as gen4 450, gen4 250f is narrower.

We used wide 125 rads on nicks 250f without changing anything, they were cheap, i just got more gen2 rads for my gen3 they were tweaked, but i've fixed a couple of banana rads i considered junk by listening to Fachar, he knew how to recover junk

I use on mine crf250 those cheap ass radiators, i think mine came from Taiwan, but i think those are same.

I have used those 70 hours in MX and enduro use. And i will buy those for mine Af also...

yea the things are cheap but they have been holding up pretty damm well for me. they are tougher than stock, and have more capacity. my bike seems to run cooler out here in the summer with them.

The only caveat is that my Emig racing 22mm triples now hit the plastic front radiator guard at full turn, due to the larger size of the rads and triples. I had to trim the top of a few fins off to clear. no biggie.


BTW this is on an 04 FoFiddy Conversion

I ended up buying Fluidyne rads. Probably the only difference is the sticker.

I was talking with a friend who owns a shop and he bought a $200 set. He said they were OK but not the same quality materials as the big name company's.
