Yeah I would sell them to you if they fit your bike. I'm not sure they are for 1986 KX500. So if you dont have any luck let me know if you want a price and then to measure.

I got a set for my Kx and they were good. I wonder if you got a set you could reposition the brackets if needed to fit your bike.

I purchased some of those bigger radiators from China for my 00 K5.
The holes didn't line up and were the wrong sizes.
I sent some specs back to them and they refunded me part of the cost.
I like the end product but getting there was a bit rough  :|

cbmoor:
Yes i must admit mine needed slight adjustment to the middle holes. They were too small but I just drilled them out a little bit more and then they fitted good. But I think that can be common on non oem items that the fit will not be as good as the originals

kwakman:
I think the brackets on the 86 do differ from the  later models.will look into it and post.

I recently posted concerning '87 substitutes, and there appears to be a difference between '87+ and '86 in the mount locations........according to the info provided by jonny
