Hi I'm trying to find out if a radiator from a 1990 to 1996 mc22 would fit my 1999 model if anyone can please help?

 

Does anyone know if all the Radiators are the same from early 90s to late 90s? Mc22 ?

 

Can someone please tell me if my posts are visible??

 

Yes sir they are.

 

Yeah, that's a question that not many people would know the answer to off the top of their head though. For specific fitment of parts that aren't original equipment, it's really more of a 'guess and test' thing. Plus the MC22 is a japan-only model so there's not exactly a ton of them out there. Why are you considering this swap?

Radiators are generally more about fitting physical dimensions than anything else. If they are the same size, then you've got a shot, but the mounting points and everything else is anyone's guess. Cars are easy, but faired sportbikes don't leave a lot of wiggle room. I'd recommend repairing the one you've got tbh

If a direct replacement isn't available, you'll have to hit a boneyard with a measuring tape and if possible bring the old part. Modification may be required, and you might need to make up some sheet-metal straps etc to actually hold it in place. You won't be able to cut the core unless you're a skilled welder (hence why the repair route is almost always a better choice)

 

Good to know tent I wasn't sure because no one was replying 🤔 haha. anyway the reason I ask is because over the last couple of years IV been freshening up my bike by replacing pretty much everything I can for new parts OEM when possible because I'm going to keep the bike and I figure the more I do to it the longer it will last plus I really enjoy it too I'm sure you can relate 😊

 

Oh I forgot to mention the reason I asked is because the only ones that seem to be available brand new on eBay they say they are only for a 1990 to 1994 model but as far as I know from talking to people all the mc22 should be the same the only difference is some were made especially for sale in Australia and some were already on the road in Japan and then sold elsewhere does that sound familiar ??

 

I just learned the answer to my question is no it doesn't fit unfortunately

 

Can someone please tell me where the hell do the front indercater wires go through the fairings ? Also how exactly do they hold on from the back?

 

Pics would help...
