Does anyone know if this would be repairable?
This is an advanced adapters 4 core brass copper.





ex girlfriend decided to spin tires on a gravel road and put a rock into it.

My credo
Failing is easy. Everyone can do it.
Pull it and take it to a decent radiator repair shop. They can either rebend things back in shape, and fix any holes. Or they can just eliminate any sections that are beyond repair. (basically they lance out the row, for lack of a better word and seal the ends) They normally have the tools and talent to do this right, and normally a huge 'dunk tank' to submerge the radiator in water, and then apply a light amount of compressed air (normally equal to your cap's rating) to locate any leaks that may be hidden.

+1 take it to a radiator shop, most of them will be able to repair it, I took the radiator off my CRF450R to a shop after someone crashed into me at the track and put a hole in it with their handle bar, lol they fixed me right up and that shit was mangled
