If you weren't so fussy about the color I could send you some very nice black ones. Since Solid has offered up the parts I don't need to hack up my stash. I have at least one silver one. Do you need a pair. I'm talking about CR500 steely rads.

im actually after a lhs silver rad but would pick up a set if they were the right price.and yeah id love a silver one, dont mean to sound fussy but dont want my bike looking goofy with odd coloured rads if and when i ever sell it(resale value in aus is high with a tidy bike).
the ones i got on there now are ok but the lhs one copped a bit of a dent while loading up on the trailer last week.another good knock and it might need replacing so id rather organise some now than have to pay heaps and wait a month for them to ship here when i do need one.
im only after straight ones though. nothing dented. if anyones got any they are not using and wants to part with, im all ears.

Doesnt that give you the shits when you bang up a rad and your not even riding it,,my brand new at the time 01 was dropped by a friend onto the arm rest on his lounge as he walked it thru the house,i mean for fuck sake of all places.....

you wouldn fkn believe it but i was down "3 star" supercross track riding today and some dude trashed his lhs radiator on his yz250f. the funny thing was he had rad gaurds too. the radiator stayed in pretty good shape but still sprung a leak. it happened to be the first session of the day too

i should of taken a pic.

some stooge left the sprinklers on over night and turned half the track in to a winters delight.ive never seen so many dropped bikes in one day ever. every one put there bike down at least once,one guy fucked up on the 45foot jump and got taken away by the ambo. i put my bike down three times today in the same bog spot.luckily no rad split, just a cut and bruised calf. landing 40 foot jumps on mud aint fun but its a hellova rush!
having said that, i think im still gonna get a set. that dudes bike took a real pounding and came up pretty good for it. cant believe that rad split.

you dont even notice the black radiators once there on my yz has black ones they dont stand out any more than the silver ones on my 500

I would hit up Sean he is great to deal with and is straight up about the condition of his stuff, you could also paint your rads silver

thestuz · Post by **thestuz** » April 2nd, 2010, 4:13 pm

yeah i hear ya but if my left one goes, and i replace it with a odd black one its gonna look shitty as and cosmetics matters if and when i ever sell it.

in aus, a cr500 that looks looked after sells for $1000 more than one that looks bodged.
would just rather get a matching pair the same colour theres enough of them floating around out there. not interested in painting them up or nothin.would just rather pay a little extra for the right pair is all.
im in no hurry.

Oh I understand now your talking about replacing just one I thought you were replacing the pair. Yea 2 different colored radiators would look funny
