vmount with stock r1 oil coolers fit?

I'm yet to mount my r1 dual oil coolers and im in the process of making the switch to a vmount. I completely forgot i have the oil coolers and im wondering if the lines for the oil coolers will interfere or make it a pita to install a vmic?

ive seen a bunch of dual oil coolers + vmic but believe they are all after market and run the plumbing behind the crash/rebar...

if you have pics of your set up with stock r1 coolers please post up

I don't have a pic handy but with my RX7 store vmount I had to have a line made to fit for my passenger side oil cooler. The stock line was in the way of the rad I believe.

hmm not what i wanted to hear!

do you think a vmount COULD fit if it was angled differently or no matter what the lines would still be in the way?

I've been looking at vmounts myself, and according to the rotary extreme installation instructions it will work with dual R1 hard lines (and AC)

All I had to do was take my stock line to a local hydraulic shop, they took to stock end off and welded it onto a new line. They gave me a connector for the other end and I just had to cut it to fit, think it was less than $50.
