Radiator Repair - Aluminum?

[Klurejr]

Has anyone had the Gen 1 Radiator repaired? After my accident a few months back the Radiator started leaking in at least one location, possibly two, and one of the tabs has broken off the top.

No one is selling used ones for an affordable price, and new Radiators are kinda expensive.

I called up a Radiator Repair shop in town and he said they will not work on Motorcycle Radiators because they are made of aluminum, and he did not know anyone who did. I think I will call around to a few shops and see if I can find someone in San Diego who can work on it, but I wanted to know if anyone here has run into this or tried to get any motorcycle radiator repaired.

Thanks!

I'm not sure about the actual damage to yours but I've successfully use JB-Weld or a similar variant in the past for radiator repairs.

The 'tab' might be the only thing that would be an issue but with enough time and persistence you could probably get it to work.

Good luck.
