Just discovered 2 pinholes in my radiator. Ebay has 3rd party new ones for $100. Used ones for about the same.
Has anyone had any experience with 3rd party units?

Most have found the Chinese units to be pretty poor. a good shop should be able to repair yours or go with OEM.

I've sent both my FJR and ST1100 radiators to them for cleaning, repair and straightening.
