    Im running a £50 kung fui alloy rad on the honda, seems good not problems, apart from the bores being a tad larger so tight to get hoses on..

    Anything I've asked for at gsf has fallen on deaf ears, there stocking nothing, getting in nothing. If it's not sat on the shelf I seem to be wasting my time.

    Sounds like it could be a worthy investment. Surly it's got to be better being alloy.
