clivegto Posted November 1 Author Posted November 1 Will welded the back part of the plenum to the front part. I then cut each end off to fit in the frame. Made a couple of ends up to be welded on next. Fuel tap will need moving round 1/3 of a turn I think but I'm going to lift the tank about 8mm as well. 3 Quote

clivegto Posted November 4 Author Posted November 4 (edited) Inlet pipe for the plenum from the intercooler going over the top of the engine. I'll take the whole bike to get this welded on. Bottom of the tank will need slight modification but not too much. Edited November 4 by clivegto 4 Quote
clivegto Posted November 4 Author Posted November 4 Had a re-think and I may be over complicating it, gonna just get a 50mm stub welded on then use 90° silicone pipe. 8 Quote
