Bought a used rad from James Sherlock Oct 22, 2020 with a 6 month warranty. Had it pressure checked that November with no problems. Just fired the bike up about 3 weeks ago to make sure rebuilt water pump and this rad didn't leak and they didn't. Got the bike hot and cycled the cooling fan a couple of times. Everything was tickety-boo. Beautiful day today so I was heading out for a ride. As I just checked the valves I did a preliminary run-up to make sure the valve cover wasn't leaking. After shutting the bike off I noticed a pool of coolant on the garage floor about the size of the palm of my hand. After removing some of the body panels I found the leak was coming from the tank crimping just by the thermostat cover. AHHHHHHHHHHH! The good news? It has a 6 month warranty which expires April 22. Hopefully they honour it. I have contacted them. Just freaking unbelievable!
