Thought you'd like that one.

BACK AT YA! Three days, huh?

@superhawk996 It's not listed here, so maybe it's just alzheimers.... https://www.onthisday.com/date/1961

Thanks Tomek!

I turn 60 today.

I bought my 2000 in 2010. I've done tires and a starter. I don't consider myself overly mechanical, but I did the stator myself. There are a couple known things that go wrong. The Cam Chain Tensioner is another. This is the first time I remember hearing of that seal. superhawk996 keeps his bikes in his living room and is a mechanic. I'd at least try his suggestion as a short run solution. How big is the puddle?

Edit

How long have you owned it?

It could be hoses or something else. I just thought if anyone had time and inclination it might be worth the discussion ahead of time. I could just take it to the mechanic with a wad of cash too. I was surprised when I took Joe's advice and looked on eBay. Stock is cheap and lasted 20+ years and might not be the problem anyway. Thanks for the replies guys.

From their website. "Professionally custom built radiator to suit 1999 to 2003 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird Motorcycle. To fit early Fuel Injection models circa 99 to 03 - there IS a hole for the temperature sender. Manufactured from copper & brass so it is heavier than the aluminium original but also means it is more durable, longer lasting as well as being cheaper and easier to repair in the event of damage (i.e. stonechips/accident). **Units are generally in stock for immediate dispatch but these are popluar radiators and do sell locally/over the counter. If we have no stock at the time of ordering it may take up to 3 working days to dispatch. If required urgently please call to check stock to avoid disappointment**"

Yeah, new, used, eBay ranged from $45 ~ $140. I'm such a dinosaur. I think if radiators as being copper. The one in my old F250 was a good deal plastic. I was thinking of doing the dual fan arrangement while I'm in there.

Well, is that a "good used" price? East End is an upgrade and new? I'd like to save money, but I can spend a bit on it if I need to.

Is leak. Is bedddy bedddy bad - I'm going on a trip out west this fall. 44k miles on the bike as it sits. I still need to get the bike home from storage and verify what's leaking. There is a repair shop that only does radiators about a mile from my house. I emailed East End. It looks like to just get the radiator. Taxes, shipping, etc comes to $540 at my doorstep.

No, I'll argue I'm the slowest guy on the track. Sounds right up my alley.

The 4 sale Section has gotten quite Lively lately.

Hard goods to ward against inflation?

Yes, lent by a fellow XX'er and his gal. There were a great bunch of Blackbird peeps at Jennings. They were very helpful in training newbies. We had a nice visit at the hotel in the evening.
