Depends which bike engine really. Some have used the original bike rad to great effect but they are few and far between in my experience. Most opt to go for a Micra/Polo/Escort rad for their cooling system.

The decision is yours.

Micra uses the same size hoses as most bikes so is easy to use, no converters needed.

Excellent bit of information! I didn't know that and it's the sort of tid-bit that could really make a difference to someone.
It's a shame that it will get burried here for all time as the search engine is useless.
Why oh why is there still not a tech department or data repository on this site?
