Help: I need a radiator part urgent!
Hi guys,
I am sorry for the odd request, but I need part for my radiator that broke in my 1990 cbr1000f. It is a plastic fitting that connects 3 hoses of the cooling system, located on the right hand side of the bike. It is the number 19 in the diagram RADIATOR Honda CBR1000F 1990 OEM Parts - Cheap Cycle Parts
I already ordered the part from the place above, but it is back order and they don't know how long it will take for them to get it. I have been planning a trip for my wife leaving this Saturday, I can't anything without the bike. I spent the day going to lowes, home depot and similar, trying to find a plumbing replacement but the sizes are different I couldn't find anything that works.
I am wonder if anyone here has this part or know where can I find it quick. I know it is a long shot, but I don't know what to do. I have reservations, a bunch of things prepared for the bike trip, and I have no bike
If anybody can help, please, please let me know. I live in Silver Spring, MD, US.
Thanks in advance,
Javier.

I thought the same thing. I already went to several advance autoparts and autozone and I could find nothing that will fit. I already find out that pvc won't work because it is usually rated up to 80 Celsius or so. I was wondering if anybody here might have a parts bike that can provide the piece. I can return it, even send the new one, but as I said I am trying to get the bike fixed by Friday.

I usually get accused of hoarding spares for my loved motorbicycles Sprock - but I can see I have an Arch Nemesis across the pond
Well done for your offer!
Cheers, SB

Ok, so yesterday I received an email from cheap cycles saying they just sent me the part! so it went from back order to shipped in one instant. I did call them before saying that I was in hurry to get it so maybe that actually worked . Sprock, thanks a lot for your offer. I guess now it is better to wait and pray for the part to arrive in time for me to do my trip. Also, yesterday a friend of mine started building a replacement out of an aluminium block, but it looks like it is more difficult than what he thought. In any case, I will also be interested in knowing how do you get a SS replacement. Was it custom made?
In the meanwhile, Sprock, hold on to those parts just in case
Thank you guys again...
