Any thoughts on these? Coupled with the Ali coolant which I have for the sps, would be a great heat sink and run cooler. Had one made for my 749R, UK company...unfortunately these are made in China...TIG welds look shocking to me.
these and similar have been covered on previous threads, many of us on here have bought Chinese rads for 848/1098/1198 and been very pleased with them overall. I don't know if there is one supplier who is better to go with than others, maybe someone else can help. It's worth gathering up all the suppliers and hopefully with a bit of reading between the lines you can choose the best one to go with. I even got onto a site where you could import them yourself but quantities and outlay were massive by my standards.
this route ought to be lower risk as U.K. based:- https://www.mandp.co.uk/products/ducati-748-748s-916-996-996s-94-02-radiator-690158 not to put you off, but I did have issues with two 848 rads from China, one resulting in a full refund but the other written off as unlucky as I didn't dummy fit it within the return/refund period.
I'm not in need of a new one, just came across them. Seem a bit hit and miss then. Can't think for the life of me the one I had on my 749R, beautifully made by someone in the UK, remember it costing £300 though, and much lighter than stock
definitely worth the risk looking at the price differential, there are japanese bike owners out there who've been fitting alternative Chinese rads for 8 years plus with little or no problems.
