Any idea if this is fixable? Bent up radiator

THE RADIATOR IS NOT LEAKING.

2024 xsr900

I saw my left blinker was a bit crooked, so i decided to remove the cover and fully check the mounts, turns out the whole radiator is crooked. The first immage shows the radiator at the top mount, where its slightly split, making it sit lower than usual.

The second and third foto show the bottom of the radiator, wich is hitting on my exhaust. The rad fan is also touching the radiator itself, causing a rrrrrrr sound when it kicks on.

Should i try to straighten it or buy a replacement?

Hello fellow riders! I am in a little bit of a pickle.

The stock rear s22 on my 2024 xsr900 lasted about 4.5k kms. I loved the feel of it but wanted something that lasted longer. Got a rear pirelli diablo 3 since there was good reviews on it and it was cheaper/ lasted longer. Indeed is a GREAT performing tire, very nimble and grips extreamly well. (+points for being beautiful)

Keep in mind, i use my bike mainly for commuting (fast accell and decell, i cannot help myself) and spirited riding ( lots of wheelies, corners when i can find them.)

I am now at a little over 7k kms and my front needs to be changed, rear is ahout halfway through its life.

I was wondering if any of you found a well performing, sport/touring tire that last better in agressive, street riding that DOESNT look like a dirt tire. I understand the road 6s perform well but i refuse to ruin the look of my bike for a tire.

The best i found yet are the pirelli angel gt.
