(keeping in mind i live in Australia).

Yes thats important....I was going to send a little package to one of our brothers.
75.00 USD shipping for a 10.00 part.

+1 Micheals12 is write they are a pack of theives! from memory it cost me around $250(UPS) to send my exhaust over and it was packed up in an extremely small box .you can take the gamble and get one sent buy post but it will take time.

I saw the chinese knock offs , seeing as the 12 is such a hot bike i dont know if i'd trust them. Im happy to pay high shipping if the part comes at the right price though.

Im not in to much of a rush for one, im going on a holiday for 2 months in 2 weeks so i figure ill order it towards the end of my trip so its waiting for me when i get back.

Also have to track down a nose fairing and a front wheel guard.

i have a front guard for a 2000 model if you need it but im not sure if it fits 05 brackets?

Or go to the junkyard and rig a honda car radiator on there......

I don't get why Kawasaki can get away charging almost $700 for a radiator for these things, yet the most expensive radiator I ever bought for a car was $150 new...not refab....:headscratch:

It's just a damn radiator after all.......nothing too special other than it's bolted to a motorcycle. Damn thing ain't even curved!...

I just don't get why the parts are so damn expensive....especially the radiator.

I got a guy down the street that said he'd rebuild mine for $100.....new prices are retarded......

parts are so expensive because peaple will pay the money to keep riding . it is a rawt.
