My samco's arrived today, I'm hoping to get time at #1 on sat to put on carbs, rubbers, rads etc so can hopefully check the fit.

Still haven't fitted them but shown them to a few other forum members who have the straight Chinese rads & they all spoke favourably about mine.
Sorry it's not more helpful at the min

I ordered the same rads as vic, had a trial fitment today, went on without too much hassle all mounts seem to be in the correctish place not too far out. Only problem I see is that when the fairing goes back on its going to hit the rad cap as it seems to stick quite far over. Will update this as an when I get there.

wonder if the rads are for the 35 - they are wider at the top if i recall.

Possibly, I've measured by eye with my old rad and they seem the same size, I think it's just that the rad cap sits the wrong way round.

Just tried fitting the thermoswitch but the thread on the rads is to small for the switch, chances of returning these rads, slim to none I suspect.

Quick question to anyone else thats bought same rads as me.
I was tinkering at the bike on sunday & noticed the fork leg touches the rad bracket when on full LH lock.
Anyone else noticed a similar issue? I'm sure my trusty dremel can help increase clearance :)
(Dunno if its a factor, but I have RVF fork assembly in my VFR by the way.)
