Default hole in the radiator

found a guy selling a

2004 f4i for $3800 has 17000 miles

he bought it at 16000 miles and put on 2 new tires and a vance hines pipe

said the only problem with the bike is there is a hole in the radiator, said it leaks slowly and a temperary fix is filling the fluids.... but does need to get fixed... how much would this cost?

is the bike worth it with this problem?

it is repainted completly black and has a polished frame and rims.

Default RE: hole in the radiator

I had a hole in my radiator shortly after I bought it, the damn reflectors on the forks punctured it when I made a turn. Anyways I took it to a shop that repairs radiators and it cost me like 30 bucks. I was so relieved I didnt have to buy a new radiator. Check and see if you a shop like that in your town.

check ebay used...or get an aftermarket one that can fit there and use the plumbing to make it fit.

how big is the whole? you can just have a repair shop look at it and get it welded. tell him you'd give him 3500 for it...if everything else is decent.
