Sorry to hear you're a bit under the weather, hopefully just a short term thing, that will soon see you well. The rads do take a lot of abuse with the short front mudguard. A couple of years back I succumbed to a fender extender, think they look awful, but certainly do their job. It'll be valve check time this winter, so might consider getting my rad recored while it's off the bike.

I've got the extender on - previous owner installed it. I even have a rad guard, but there is a small area, approx 1" x 1" where there are about half a dozen fins that are no longer straight.
Radiator re-core? How much will that cost?
