i wouldnt hesitate to get a whole new rad-not recore yours. i did mine and
the tanks developed pinholes over time and pressure. a whole new rad will be
pressure tested to 15# or better. more pressure-lower boiling point-less
water loss-better cooling.
also-noticed in your pic youre ridin low in the back-you might consider air
shocks for the rear to overcome that-it will raise the rear but more
importantly-it will bring more direct(anything helps right?) airflow into
the rad area.
        if you can go 4row rad-do it and if you can get fancy and go
aluminum cross-flow, that would be the ultimate.   
but i would def. go for new tank/new rad
