The biggest retailer in the states buys 91% of all its goods from China...

So I was contemplating whether I should buy Chinese radiators from eBay until I watched this video:

So I got to work on mine today and I reckon they came out pretty good!

I bought radiator braces for my 'new to me' bike so I'll be putting those on when I put it back together.

Only filled them with water, didn't plug them and pressurise it. Seemed ok.
Rads were full with I got the bike and hasn't been leaking in the garage so hopefully all good.

Here in France I have a fairly local parts dealer who sells the Chinese radiators.

I haven't bought any yet, but if/when I do, I would buy from him, at least then if they're faulty I can just return them and get them replaced.

All the best, Dave.
