Hi,

A VFR radiator will fit the RVF with very small modification to the top mounting eye.

Thanks

will it work the other way round? and with the rvf rad being bigger will it be better for cooling?

they are the same size but the rvf one has the top mounts closer together,thats why the vfr one fits on the rvf with a suitable spacer but the rvf one won't fit on the vfr

hummm how much work is actually involved.....im not a mechanic of any sorts....im just a student who got knocked off his bike !!!
luckily the damage is all fairings but was advised to get a new upper rad....

i might actually just wait nd have a look on ebay when a rvf one pops up !

@ mutly

cheers !
