Ok, so first impressions are pretty good.
Rads Look good, very light.
Some of the welding on the brackets isn't the best, bit lumpy & the brackets are a bit ragged (more deburring required) but should be solid enough & all brackets/tabs seem to be there.
Haven't bolted them onto bike either, might do a side-by-side with the set Chris bought when the chance is here.
I'll post pics later.

Heres some quick snaps I took, if theres anything more specific you wish to see just ask.
I've tried to show the quality of the welds as per my previous comments (bit lumpy in places).
I hope to do a comparison with Chris's straight rads in the near future so will keep you posted on the results too.

It almost looks like that hanger was made by hand...

Would you recommend me purchasing them? did yours come with the fan mounting? the look posh, did you sand them up a bit?

Haven't touched them, that's how them came out of the box.
Forgot to look for fan mountings, will try to look later.
Overall I think they're ok for the money (bracketry could def have done with more care) but will reserve judgement til I get them onto a bike.
