Radiator trouble

mtemplek said:

I have a 2002 Honda VTX 1800R and the radiator leaks. They have been on back order since last spring. Is there another radiator that is compatible? I bought a used one last spring and it got us through until this spring but is now leaking and I can’t find another one! Can anyone help?

Get it re-cored at a reputable radiator repair shop.

place an order for a new radiator with
www.RonAyers.com
then ask them to put it on a critical back order. Mine has been on order for five months. But if Honda gets more orders then they might do a run.

Don't bet on that! The Marysville plant hasn't made much of anything in 10 or more years. They used to have some stock parts on hand, but I would doubt it now. One of our northern friends came to a gathering outside Marysville maybe 5-6 years ago, and bought a new one there to take home to Ontario with him.
