So I recently dropped my bike and damaged the radiator filler neck quick badly. The cap no longer works properly, in that its jammed on and when pressure builds the inner seal doesn't 'rise'.
Where can I find a used replacement radiator for the CBR650F, that won't cost me an arm an a leg? There isn't any on ebay right now in Europe, at least, only one which would be shipped from the US, costing me £170 including shipping! The OEM part costs over £500.
It seems like almost ever other bike has replacement radiators on ebay for around the £50-£80 mark, but not for the CBR650F.
I spoke to a local radiator repair shop, and they said the radiator likely isn't repairable, and that they could build me a new one for a hefty £280.
What's my best option here?
