I looked into getting mine done and I was quoted around £150 , there will be a bit of work involved welding the brackets on.

Both my rads are pretty dinged up, once I ride it and if I like it I will get one of those Chinese ones Cam and let you all know how it goes.

Plan to ride next Sunday.......

They look pretty good but with 40 mm cores is there enough room for a fan?

I had a 32 mm core lower rad made here for my track bike, about $100, works great.
