Need a 06 450r Radiator..will an 04 or 05 fit? Im looking for a used one for my 06 but im only finding them for an 05...will it fit?

Not without serious modifications. In a one word answer, no.

It will work. I've got an 05 on my 07. The dimensions are the same, the difference is in the angle of the fins.

Dimensions are the same? I was pretty sure that the 06 up were wider and thinner. Need to figure out how to put an 05 fan on an 06.

Don't know about the fan. I've got fan and all from an 05 on mine. It bolted up fine.

Cool. That's good to know when I finally update and get a new bike and have to swap crap over to piece one or the other back together. :devil:

Okay sweet...so if i put an 05 radiator on my 06 it will bolt up fine...right? Just want to be positive it will work

[rollie]

yes i have a radiator off an 04 on my 07, the fan from an 07 will also bolts right up to the 04 rad.


scro, is there any advantage to the 04/05 or 06+ fins that you know of out of curiosity?

[Scro]

I haven't heard any explanations about it, but I would assume it's to keep mud from getting in between the fins as bad. I couldn't tell a difference in cooling.
