Delkevic radiator - SV650.org

If I had some luck it would be no luck!
Replaced my leaking rad with a used item from ebay 8 months ago and that starts p*ssing coolant all over my boot.
Just fitted a Delkevic shiny new one for £120 delivered, fitted it and tested it.
Wanted to make sure the cooling fan would work so I left it idling for 15 minutes. Waited 20 minutes, it never went above 102C. The slightest breeze brought the temperature down to 98C. Efficient!

Seems to be exceptionally good value for money. I will update after a weeks worth of commute and tell you how it's getting on. Seems to be well made and no haggling to fit, straightforward job.

Let's see if my luck has changed... damn thing'll probably explode and take my leg off!!

Two weeks in. Good as wood!
Even sitting in traffic the temperature never gets above 100C.
Will update this post in 2 years time or sooner if I encounter a problem! So far so good.
