Finally swapped to the summer bike and whipped off the radiator today to take a look. Oooh dear. The mounting lugs are all in a horrible state - one snapped clean through the others have so much corrosion it's almost like delaminated plywood.
Anyone know of a FZS1000 radiator for sale. None on eBay bar a chinese copy. Which might be ok for 80 quid

This is the second radiator as the previous sprang a leak but although I've still got it, and it's not really worth repairing as it's not that much better. I guess this is what 7 winters of salt does to a Fazer radiator. The retaining rings on the header pipes are about 1/3 of the thickness they were originally too.
