Well as some of you know my rad went for a shitter the first time i reved the rb20. I located a rad shop in town and went up there. Upon discussion we came to an agreement on a custom 2" cored copper rad. Dropped it off friday, the guy building it came back from holidays monday. Rad was done wednesday before NOON! Total price came to $400 which is under the price of a koyo and will cool much better.

it’s a 1982 honda pa50. I had some shocks lieing around from a previous project and thru them on. It costs me $200 a year insurance, and $5 every 2 weeks in gas. I use it to get to and from work. Bout 15km daily. Does 40-70km/h depending on a few factors. ---
