Help with Gsxr radiator upgrade / replacement


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi everyone,

Working on a 93 gsxr 750 project and looking for suggestions on radiator replacement. 

Looking for a straight (not curved), not painted newer radiator that would fit. Any suggestion year and model that would fit without too much rerouting of the hoses? Thanks!

I assume you don't intend having any fairings on the bike ? as the curved rads are designed to curve forward into the front of the fairing .you don't ideally want gaps as air takes path of less resistance and goes around so less efficiency .  a zx1100 rad is straight and looks like it might fit . you can always get silicon hoses made up by a firm called viper.  just google them . usually have a stand at Stoneleigh kit car show beginning of may . .  a zx7 /zxr750 rad definitely fits  but not what your looking for .  seen this zx7 extended one on e bay looks good .but not cheap .  last pic is zx1100 rad  both bare alloy and straight .  both on e bay as we speak .

Thanks skylinespeedster! I am indeed getting ride of the fairings. Building  a streetfighter. I like the look of the last one as it is flat. I will look into it. Thanks!

if your building a streetfighter then the trickest mod would be to fit a rear radiator/fan set up as on Benelli 900tre . not the easiest mod . lol. just had a look how it is set up ,definitely possible .delete o.e waterpump and run a small mocal electric  inline one to ensure you get good flow . this set up is draw through by rear fans . seen it done many times on pro drift cars .

That would be stunning if you could hide it inside the lines of the bodywork.

It does look cool but unfortunately in my build I don’t have the space  under the subframe.
