    I have read many posts through the search function on leaky radiators. I just bought an SMS with a very slow (and intermittent) leak in the left radiator. I know some have replaced theirs with the Chinese versions. I’m wondering if anyone has had any luck sending them to Myler or ICW for repair. Is that a good idea or should I just replace them?
    Thanks

    I replaced my TE630 radiators with TE250 radiators I found on ebay. Far superior to the Husky units IMO.

    I sent my bent radiator to Mylers and ordered a new stock radiator at the same time as I wasn't sure if Mylers would be returned in time for a ride. Mylers repaired and returned my radiator in 4 days. My new radiator still sits in the box on a shelf
