Not sure but it would be worth a phone call and id guess less than a new Rad

Found a shop very close to the place I'm working. Hoep to have the radiator off this evening, over to them tomorrow and picked up Weds.

Sure hope so!

Found this shops price list - so I hope it's some place in the low end of their street bike price ($60)

A new one is ~$350 from Cheapcycleparts.

So after many months of waiting, the final bit of my wheel lightening project arrived. The KTM branded, galfer made wave rotor - 10.6 oz lighter than the stock disc

Making the wheels tubeless with the Outex kit. Values are minus tube weight, plus Outex materials
Front Wheel: -19.85 Oz.
Rear Wheel: -22.9 Oz.
- Took some effort and the kit is not cheap, but the weight loss is notable.

Swapping from a 44t 'Stealth' sprocket to an all AL one
Front Wheel Assembly: -19.85 Oz.
Rear Wheel Assembly: -36.6 Oz.

New tires - Previous Pirelli Diablo 2, new Dunlop Q2 same sizes
Front wheel w/ tire: -11.25 Oz
Rear wheel w/tire: -46.5 Oz
Interesting that the Q2 front is about 1/2 pound heavier while the rear is 10 oz lighter.

With new front rotor
Front wheel w/ tire: -21.85 Oz
Rear wheel w/tire: -46.5 Oz

Suspension's out for a fresh up, new radiator arrived so I might have a bike again soon.

Yep, the Outex kit was a good value. Though it took a good bit of elbow grease to prep the hoops and spoke nipples it's held constant pressure for a while now and I haven't babied it. At about 1/8th or less the cost of a set of Duke wheels and almost as much weight loss it seemed like a good trade.

And my present to myself of Samco silly-cone hoses arrived. Least i can fit the radiator back now.
