Might be worth trying to source it from a local supplier. Maybe costs a little bit more but at least the bloke can come out and have a look at it, and it makes returning it a lot easier when there's no postage to pay on such a bulky item. A specialist may also be able to repair more cheaply than replacing it.

Could you not get it repaired locally?

I buckled my left radiator on my enduro bike in a race earlier this year when I hit a tree.............cost me £40 at my local radiator specialist, but it was much cheaper than getting a new one.

He even sorted a few other bit's out on it I had not noticed.
