Radiator replacement.

[Ratters]

Hello me again.
So bought a replacement rad off fleabay and the angle of the top right inlet is wrong sonthe hose doesn’t marry up and its useless. Are they all like this , can anybody provide a link to one they bought with no bother?
Cheers.

Just had a look at a Boxeye vs Foxeye radiator on Fowlers and the part numbers are the same.
Not sure what you've got there?

It is supposed to be for an fzs but obviously they didn’t quite hit the mark there.
Just looked at the supplier on E bays feedback and it’s not good.
I’ll return and try another supplier they all look similar hopefully next one will be ok.

I'd rather have a painted one, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. They'll always fail in time. I ride all conditions, I've put it in the spreadsheet to be replaced after 4 years now. Rather than dealing with the consequences of a failed one.

I believe this miss alignment has been a long standing issue. I remember posts on here years ago about it - not sure if its the same supplier but its the same issue.
And what the hell has happed to yours it looks like it has totally collapsed.

I've never had one fail on me in 36 years riding, and don't recall any issues being mentioned on here either? (touch wood)
