well i may or may not have had a minor roll over (at about 40mph) a few weeks ago. i am fine, was sore for a couple of days, cracked my helmet in half but it did its job so i walked away... life has been pretty busy so i finally got around to tearing it apart tonight.
bent my steering stem, broke some plastic parts and this.. (see pictures)
now the question is... is the rad fixable or would i be better to go with an aftermarket replacement?
question number 2... which is a good aftermarket steering stem? and which are good aftermarket rads if i am better to replace it.
honestly, if the rad doesnt leak, dont bother replacing it, youll just roll it again doen the road anyways, its the nature of the beast :nod: as for the steering stem there are quite a few options, but the lonestar is the only one that comes to mind. ???
If it was mine, I'd probably run it, but if you notice it running warmer by chance, I'd not hesitate to replace. The passages inside the radiator I think are pretty easy to bend/pinch and restrict flow.
I would get a new one if it was me...time to upgrade to Fluidyne.
I have been running mine like this for about a year now with no problems. I rolled too... :lol:
