What core size should i look for in an aftermarket? and what is stock size?

I can't give you any dimensions, but the stock rad is single core. There are aftermarket rads avaiable with either single or double cores (I don't know about triple). They are both available in brass and in aluminum. Any of them is an upgrade since the stock unit has plastic end tanks. Some people want the lightest possible, some people never road race or see high temps in their geographical area so single is fine, and some folks need a bigass radiator 'cause they live in Texas. So, buy the one that matches your needs.

Single core brass- cheap ($under $200), cools at least as good as stock, slightly heavier than stock.

Double core brass- cheap (a little over $200, cools better than stock, heavier than stock.

Single aluminum- moderately priced (about $300), cools at least as good as stock, about as light as stock.

Double aluminum- Higher priced (over $400), cools better than stock, a little heavier than stock.

Do a search for more specifics like differences between the manufactureres or the best prices.
