Toyo vs. Denso radiator '91 CB7
I noticed via a searched thread that for example Majestic sells both the Toyo and Denso radiators for the 92. However, for my '91 they only list Denso --- mine's a Toyo and I need to replace it.
If there's something different about these and I need to go with Denso will I have to get a new cap or anything else? Car has A/C, AT etc.

That's because 2 doors and wagons of that year only came with a Denso radiator, assuming you have one of the above, and not a 4 door.
Toyo is an OEM for Honda, Koyo (with their lifetime radiators) is considered aftermarket.

Wound up getting a "universal" from the dealer. The Toyo would have been more expensive (and special-ordered). The universal is what they install for either Toyo or Denso cars and fits up with fans and AT lines from either configuration --- or so I'm told; I haven't installed it yet. But it looks just dandy. I almost bought one from an auto parts store but declined because I didn't want to risk any match-up problems.

The Koyo is great for the price with a warranty Honda can't match. I put one in 3 years ago with no problems so far.

Yes --- it looks like I got a Koyo from the dealer. Says "Inspected by Koyo" on it. Sure is purty. Don't know diddly about its warranty; I just figured it'd be a quality piece. As for "three times the price" it was about double or maybe a little less --- $160. But that also got it to me at least a day sooner, and without risk of something not fitting. I also picked up the upper and lower hoses at the dealer.
