Good Radiator Place

Postby benaylen » Thu Jan 29, 2009 10:07 am

The radiator on my F4i is pretty rough and has been running hot for a while. I pulled it off last night and thanks to Boxer, I've now got somewhere to send it. Both Bender and Boxer recommend this spot in Sydney called Better Radiators and after speaking with them this morning, it certainly sounds like they live up to their name. They said they get road and dirt bike radiators from all over Australia and said they normally get them back either same day or next day. So I've sent my radiator off to this this morning which was only $10 normal or $20 express and hopefully they'll give me a ring tomorrow to let me know roughly how much it will be.

Their contact details are below:

Radiator is done, paid, and will be sent tomorrow morning via express post which means I'll have it back inside a week. (Sent Thursday last week, will get it Wednesday this week)

Total came to $120 including express post which I'm pretty happy with.

I got my radiator back today as promised. It only took 6 days to send to Sydney, get it fixed, and sent back Canberra. Stoked!

They did an awesome job too. Looks like a new one. I'm tempted to fit a 2nd fan while it's pulled off but I need to get to work tomorrow so it'll have to go on and wait until the next stunt day.

i got them to do my rad on the rr. nice ppl and good preices with good work. only complaint i have is they said they straightened my fan but didnt. ah well. i got the rad done so cheap i wasnt too fussed. Ben i have a fan off i dont know what. but its massive and will keep your bike very very cool on a very very hot day. too big for the rr. if it fits the f4i and your keen, let me know. cheers.
one day i will think of something smart to put here
