    hey guys, I just got a 1986 vfr 750 and found out that the radiator is bad. I am in Ames, Iowa and there are not any places that service radiators nearby. My question is what to do for this repair? Are there any places that sell radiators referbished or can I get a radiator off of something like a CBR? I dont believe my radiator is serviceable anyhow. I dont mind doing the work on the bike, I just need a little bit of guidance. Thanks

    -Nick

    What is bad about it? A hole? need to be re-rodded?

    it is crushed on the neck, keeping the cap from sealing and the fan does not turn on. I just got the bike and took it into the shop and they said that it would be difficult to locate a new one. I have not seen it since diagnosing the issue. I am just trying to locate a radiator. I found one off of an 86 vfr 500, but i am not sure if that will work due to space constraints, etc.
