Finally got a bike to use as my general runabout and commuter, picked her up on friday and spent the weekend getting to know it:
Image
1998 VFR800 Fi, 41k miles on the clock, SS pipes and R1 reg/rec other than that its pretty much standard. Means i get to keep the NC30 in the garage unless its sunny and i still get to ride a V4 every day!
Here they are together

Finaly got my lower rad fitted now my samco's have arrived, only a 4 week wait. :roll:
Before:

I ran into a problem fitting the rad though, turns out it doesnt fit the NC30 had to fit a few spacers to the upper mounting point so i could secure it at both ends:

Bit of a shit pic but you can just about make it out.
Image
Bottom mounting point was a ballache.
Image
Managed to move the bar down a bit and fitted part of an old door hinge to secure the bottom of the rad.

At this point i thought brilliant ive got it all secure and ready to roll, then i tried to fit the lowers and another problem the fucking rad is too wide to fit inside. So i thought theres no way im cutting my fairing to have some ugly corners of the radiator sticking out the sides, this has been such a load of hassle should have been a 30 min job instead it turned into nearly 3 hours, so ive decided im going to try and return the rad (even though i bought it about 5 months ago) or sell it on, bite the bullet and get a set of geoffs cheapo chinese ones, im regretting not trusting chinese build quality and buying a set now this has happened.

RLR bottom rad, had one on mine. Your need to cut 2 holes in your lowers plus the big coolant hose on the left will push against the fairings causing them not to line up underneth and eventually crack the mounting lug, not ideal but there really made for race fairings.

A week earlier and i would have popped up and said..." I have just what you're after keiran!... lovely nh196 plain white lowers with the rad hole already cut for an rlr rad!" unfortunately they are being sprayed as we speak :whistle:
I'll swap the rad with you for a shiny new Geoff33 one? Seen a hundred miles if that where ive been rebuilding mine! again!! Make my holes have a reason to be there and solve your problem with no resale or hassle buying another?!?! :lol:
If you need a top rad i also have a really nice standard one for £20 good clean condition
