Good afternoon all,
finally got around the making some enquiries on this, and had a very promising phone call with a company the specialise in making and repairing MX radiators.
At present they are snowed under with work, but we have provisionally booked the beginning of August in to get a bike to them and start looking further into this.
Currently I have no idea on costs- but I plan to try and put a large group buy together to keep the costs as sensible as possible.
Watch this space.

Is there anything that prevents fitting a radiator from a totally different bike, assuming the physical form factor is compatible ?
Because I've seen quite a few cheap aftermarket radiators on AliExpress from China.
Most of them have the input on one side and the output on the other side, so there would be a need to have a coolant hose across it, but beside that I didn't see any other issue.
Is there something special to the G650 radiators ?
The people i'm talking to actually manufactured the touratech radiator for the XC a few years back, so I think they might have something very close already on the shelf
Howcome the Husky has the radiator back to front? The water pumpmost be the same side, surely - it is the same 652cc Rotax.
Me no comprende.
Nathan, did they get much further with this?
Need to chase this up in the new year, still have 3 days leave to take before the end of February, and still have an XChallenge here to use as a model, so will make use of both to hopefully get this sorted.
Apologies for dropping off the boil with this, mother nature has hammered me on a contract at work, and a job that should have taken no more than 2 weeks ended up taking 2 1/2 months-including weekends!
Desk is now clearing so i plan to get back on this..
