I imagine you could pick up a good used one A LOT cheaper than that on flea bay.

No stock rads

warp 9 sounds like a waste of money

Warp 9 radiators seem to be pretty nice but are way overkill, IMO, for any KDX. Now, if you just want brand new and/or the bling factor then go for it!

I have never used warp 9 but as for some more options you could always try giving jeff fredette a call over at http://www.FRPoffroad.com. Or take it to a local mom and pop radiator shop and have them fix it for you.

I'd recommend stock rads, and invest your money in braces so they don't get smashed again. :mrgreen: :supz:

i found these about a week ago an have been thinking about picking up a set also.since my bike doesnt have the over flow bottle on it.i figure the extra coolant they hold an the extra surface area also wouldnt hurt either.

I'll be picking up a set simply because mine are smashed all to hell and I want NEW rads. Not somebody's beat up, barely better than mine, junk that looks like it came from a salvage yard at the bottom of the ocean. For me its worth an extra $100.
