You could try soldering it yourself or take it to a radiator shop. There are also radiator shops that specialize in motorcycle radiator repair that can make it like new.

So, there is a few options.

Outside corner should be a easy fix for any radiator shop. Serious damage try Myler's. http://www.motorcycleradiators.com/

+1 on Mylers. They have done a great job for me in the past.

I've used a tablespoon of Bars Leak in the past. Worked for a year, as I recall.

My current radiator is fixed with JB Weld where a cable wore a hole in one of the seams.

Both available at your neighborhood auto parts store

+ 3 on mylers. PO wrecked my kdx, and jb welded it. It only lasted a month or two. It was a rip where the top hose goes on. Mylers fixed it up right, and fairly cheap. Still holding!
