I am wondering if anyone know which bike brand/model is the donor of radiator for SantaMonica. I doubt that Bimota made their own.

Bimota Classic Parts actually have spares in stock

It does look a very specific shape and size that may have been made to order for them....I think you own most of the bikes/models that may be similar...I'd be looking at aprilia, BENELLI, maybe Ducati....but doesnt look that familiar for that manufacturer

It's definitely not Aprilia (2 radiators) or Benelli (funky under the seat radiator). It looks more like Yamaha R1 or some Suzuki radiators

For me....with the odd shaped sizes and add-ons...and the colour and finish....its a one off made specific to fit the bike/bodywork....Had a quick Ebay search of Yamaha/Ducati/Benelli/Suzuki/aprilia "rad"....and just nothing comes close to the shape and mixed add-on affair...

What are you looking for? a Spare rad or Rad covers? Companies are out there that will replicate the same in alloy and also make rad covers

As far as I am aware the Santamonica/Gobert radiator is a one off. The SB8R has standerd TL rads on it.
Why ? do you need one ?

Thank you
