Fork swap, rad relocation ?

Quick question for those that have moved the radiators for clearance of the front rad hose,

did you position the horizontal connecting rad hose above the oil cooler ? below the oil cooler ? or in front of the oil cooler ?

at the moment I have removed the rad bolts, cut around 3/4 inch of the right & left hoses and pushed the rads back, but just wondering about final position !?

I have the hose above the oil cooler at present.

left side moved back easily, right side not moving back as easy, but I think I'm o.k,

Mine is on top, same as yours. It has been a while since I did the fork swap, but I don't remember any issues with the hoses and clamps.
You need to finish up and go get some bugs smashed on to that oil cooler, way too clean.

Sweet ! Thanks for that 👍,

Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting it completed, coming into our summer over here in Oz.
