Fazerider. Interesting to see you have used domed nuts on the exhaust :thumbup . I have been thinking of making some domed nuts out of brass for the same job.
Steve. To get back to the main topic, I fitted a Delkavic to a boxeye fazer I was repairing about three years ago and it's still going strong. The quality looked o.k. and no problem with the fitting. It was filled with 50/50 antifreeze mix and the bike doesn't see salted roads or much rain. I paid about £100 at the time for it.
My own 2000 Fazer 600 still has the original radiator and I also use a 50/50 antifreeze mix. It doesn't get used in bad weather if I can help it but that doesn't always go to plan.
My understanding is that the antifreeze also contains corrosion inhibitors to protect the aluminium parts of the engine and radiator etc.
