Radiator replacement

Anyone here ever try Myler radiators as a replacement for OEM?. I'm finding the left side to be too big. . That middle tab is too big, it won't let the tank mount. Wondering if I got the wrong one or if anyone else has experienced that. OEM rads are silly expensive. Maybe someone can reccomend something other than Myler?

The Chinese ones on eBay are ok if they fit, big if I hear. You never know.
Maybe buy a used one and have it fixed. ICW or Mylers both do good work.

I had used my super deductive reasoning to narrow it down to 1989 - 2006.

There's no way the thing is right. But I have heard that Mylers have fitment issues on one side or the other on some bikes. Pretty helpful group here

I have read a few reports on kdxrider and other sites of Chinese radiators not fitting well.

I think so. Here's a thread from 2012:
https://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/sho ... tors/page5
One thing I have learned is that if something is made in the USA, a company will mention it, stamp it on the product and print it on the box. I looked on the Myler's site. The product description had no flashing neon screaming MADE IN THE USA, so I assume it is made in China.
I have zero experience with non-OEM radiators or any company that repairs radiators.
There was a member in another recent thread showing his repaired and fortified radiators. Whoever did it did an awesome job. The forum member showed pictures.
