Even here a new radiator is expensive!!
I was the lucky receiver of a couple of stone chips that put a decent sized hole in my right hand radiator last week.
Even here in the land of smiles with the "cheap" Kawasaki spare parts, I still had to fork over the grand sum of $140usd for a new radiator!! OUCH
That was including VAT & it came with a new filler cap......even with just road riding, radiator protectors may have come in handy.

Gotta love OE parts. I'm not a big fan of stamped-out aluminum rads; impossible to repair the inevitable dings. The brass-copper rad I had fabbed by a local guy (for the ZX9) is beautiful. I've had a stone nick or two in it before. Pull it off, dry it out, solder here--solder there, good to go.

Would love a pair of custom made brass-copper rads but in Thailand they're very very few skilled tradesmen around to make such things! Only good thing is we do get OE parts at 1/3 the price of the western world.
