Received my rads. Packaging was top class!

Will wait until the warmer and drier weather rather that filling these rads with the scum and shite off the roads.

They do look well made and are nice and light but don't know how they compare to OEM

Cheers. That do fit well after a little 'adjustment'. :up: Well done Geoff for sorting them out.

Has everyone had to modify the bracket?

Nope, I just put the bolt in from the left (as you stand in front of the rad) instead of from the right if that makes sense? Fitted a treat.

The upper bracket of the lower rad (the little stud type one) needed a little 'adjustment' and also the near side bracket of the upper rad just needed bending into place. All ok and alloy was soft enough no real hardship. :up:

a tiny bit of fiddling, and some thinking time and they went in fine.

Eh, seriously considering a set of these. Mine have seen better days, and it gets viciously hot here during the summer time.

Any left?

I see your located in HKG, why not source it direct from China into HKG (import duties free, right?). It should save on the costs for int. shipping.

PS: Geoff, above has nothing to do with your superb and great effort to get these rads, you're doing a great job on here :peace: but it is just my practical thoughts.
