    1985 ATC250r - China Aluminum Rads - Anyone use? Are they any good?

    Looking to upgrade the look during my mod restoration. Seen these on evilbay pretty cheap. Are they junk? I've attached a pic for reference. Price range from $149 - $200 for the set. They all look identical and probably manufactured in the same plant.

    Let me know if you have had any poor experiences.

    Thanks,

    Description on ebay ad:
    "Oversized Aluminum Radiator Honda ATC250R including both left side and right side radiators

    Fits: Honda ATC250R 1985-1986

    The radiator is a oversized radiator which has 40mm thickness and a 30% extra capacity which allow more cooling liquid and a better cooling ability, this will also hold a stronger engine and help the performance of the engine! The radiator is fully aluminum, all are welded together, we never use any glue or epoxy! Excellent products with high performance, 1 year warranty!!"

    I want to say that Tom PocoLoco is running a set on his BDT 250r, i havent seen feedback from him though. Im almost positive i saw him post that on facebook that he was going to try a set out though

    Personally I would not put china made equipment on any of my bikes if I can help it!! Wonder how much a local rad shop or fabrication shop would charge to build those one off?

    I put set on my R before I sold it. No issues other than the cap is hard to get off because the rads are a bit taller.

    I was wondering the same thing, although I don't like the fact that they are made in china. Certainly look trick though

    I am running them on my R. Only because I am trying to pull more heat out of it after going to a 330 big bore.
    I have to remove the right shroud to check or add coolant, and it hits my fmf pipe. If it is a stock motor I would stay with the stock rads.

    I put a set on a crf250 I had a couple years ago and had no problems with them. I would like to eventually build a 250r one day and am thinking about these for cooling system.
