Hello, I recently bought a R3 and about a month 1/2 later I got hit by some bish in a black Tahoe, 
it was a hit and run. Well now I'm trying to repair the thing but I can't find a radiator for it, can anyone help me? My friend said I might have to buy a different model and mod it to fit the bike, I don't even know what model to buy or anything, the stock radiator looks like someone's been chewing on it, to be honest the whole bike looks like a dinosaur bit it. I took a few pics of the stock radiator just incase though, but can someone tell me a where to get a replacement or name a model that might possibly fit that bike? I'll make all the other adjustments if I need to mod and machine it but I'm not sure where to even get 1, it's my first bike. Here are a few pics though.

Here I just completely pulled it off the bike, I took better pictures incase someone can identify it better and help me out more to get a replacement

Crashing aside, are people really getting stones in their radiators? I live at the end of a 1/2 mile gravel lane, and with 700 miles on my bike the lowers already look like a pack of wild dogs have been using them for teething rings but I've never put on a radiator guard, and never had a stone in a radiator. I seem to remember maybe my ZX6E had a screen, stock? maybe.

Mine looks a little rough after 1500 kms as well on the bottom. Just installed the Yamaha rad protector, we'll see if that helps at all.Crashing aside, are people really getting stones in their radiators?

I have another question for some of you in here maybe you can continue to help me out, when I got my bike from the impound it was demolished! It had no front forks cuz they snapped and the rim was broken pretty bad, here's a few pics
If you look at one of the pics I zoomed in you can see the crack on the rim so I labeled it useless!

Bought a R&G radiator guard from my local store, cost 90 SGD.
The instructions on the manual given wasn't detailed and I was stuck with not being able to remove the fairings fully, had to turn to google halfway.
What is stated as a 20mins job turned into a 180mins one. Also dented some of my radiator fins ( the irony ) while trying to slot in the guard as there isn't really any free space due to the abs adapter ( i think ? ) right infront of the top radiator mount.
For those who intend to remove their fairings, this is a great guide :
