After being quoted £250 for a new radiator fan for my Hornet from my local bike garage, I was wondering if anyone knows of any decent suppliers that sell bike parts for a slightly more reasonable price.

I mean, £250! It's a smegging fan! Not a mini nuclear reactor!

Ebay hasn't come up trumps I'm afraid...

Davidsilverspares.co.uk do them for £195 + VAT so £225.

Or just use a CBR600 radiator , if I managed to mount a VFR radiator onto my NTV (then break it and stick a unknown radiator on it) , there are quite a few CBR ones on ebay for <£100.


Oh you were talking about the radiator fan, same thing applies tbh , in that you can take many fans and stick them on your radiator , its just a case of the mounting points which can be fixed with small buts of metal. Again I stuck a CBR fan o my Africa twin as only one of the radiators had a fan on it.

Bike's take the p**s compared to cars.

Bikes are less common and compatible parts are not made.

I am sure it is the same unit as found on the CB500

For that sort of money, I suggest you buy any old 12v fan then have an engineer mill you a custom made bracket from a piece of billett titanium to fit it with.

It would still work out cheaper.

£29 to you Guv

Unless you do a lot of town riding in the middle of summer I'd be surprised if it cuts in anyway.

Mine came on once on my old hornet, and that was when I was doing a burnout in the middle of July. Laughing

+1 to Big_Ham.... Unless you are planning on sitting in traffic (on a bike- unlikely!) You don't need one. It's not like we're in a hot country!

Mine comes on once every day on my way to college in rush hour traffic on the hornet, even in the cold.

You could always buy a large computer fan for a few quid and bolt that on - can't be that difficult. Only problem would be its potential lack of resistance to water/crap being hurled at it.
