Your replacement forks may have been tweaked eg had progressive fork springs fitted, which gives more road feedback but at the expense of making everything feel harsh as it transmits more shocks up through the arms.
Or your new forks may have a lot more stiction, in which case a blown seal or two may be imminent.
Did you have the frame checked to see if it was bent? Usually manifests as tracking excellently through a right-hand corner but awful through a left-hander, or the other way round.
Did you replace the steering head bearings as they often get trashed in a shunt / prang.
If you need fork stanchions / brake discs, All Bike Engineering (ABE) are usually pretty good and far cheaper than OEM Yamaha

Are the brake calipers & brake discs off the same bike or is there a mismatch? Pads take a while to 'bed in' on new brake discs, never mind bedding in on worn ones
Why mention the radiator - is there damage to it or is the bike overheating?
Don't be dismayed, we'll get you all sorted out...eventually ;-)
