The saga with Cameron's, formally my, radiator continues. The radiator is toast, that is, the bent & crushed bypass hose tube at the bottom of the radiator cannot be repaired. So, we need a radiator. I spoke to a nuc welder friend and he told me trying to weld steel to aluminum is near impossible and rarely successful.

Does anyone have a good used stock radiator or know where there is one available? The Cameron checked on the price of a new one and was told by the dealership that they could order one from Triumph with the price at almost $1100. UNBELIEVABLE. He's looking on line for substitutes with most made in China and differing characteristics and a delivery date in June or July.

NEED RADIATOR.
 
@1olbull bull was happy with the Chinese one he picked up to replace his bent one.

Yup. We spoke to him on the phone about it. It had issues with the shroud mounts though so he got the custom aluminum ones. He's looking for his receipt to confirm which one he got because there are quite a few available.
 
This is the one Cam ordered.

The way Cam is going, he might be ordering the supercharger kit in the future. Me for now, I'm riding a nice 1200 Indian Scout, fit for old gray haired fudds but spirited enough, and helping Cam get "the beast" in order and ready for prime time.

I look at the R3T sitting in the Condor chock in his garage as we work on it and ask myself, "Did I ever really own and ride that magnificent beast?"

Same seller as I bought from. It's same item in black. I was impressed with it. Quality is very good. All the pipes line up perfectly. The mountings are almost spot on, I had to drill out bigger a couple of holes in the chrome plastic trim to get it back on 100% but no more than is expect. It's a good purchase saving you $800 :)

That's good to know. Estimated delivery date is June 5th.
