Well, here they are!!

Overall i'm quite impressed with them, couple of problems though, these are, 1) top guard mounts are on the wrong side, 2) filler neck could be improved.

The guard mounts will be sorted for the next delivery, filler neck will stay as they are.

They will be going out at £175 a set delivered.

Geoff, were you able to measure the exact capacity of fluid that goes into these set of rads? Just to know for sure.

Geoff has just been round my house to collect his trailer and I got a chance to have a look at these rads.

They are the "pre production" set and will be tested by reversecylinderjim on a trackday soon.

I am going to get some of these rads - they are clean, spanky new and with the small mods that Geoff has asked for ont he spout and the rad guard brackets they are going to be as good as new.

@Jas - no measurements, but to the eye the top rad has larger tanks than OEM and will definitely hold more fluid. The lower is harder to gauge but I am sure that it does not hold any less than OEM.

For the money - bargain.
