    All the best components should be multi-functional so am converting tank cover into air box extension. First needed some tubes,... Wife away for weekend so Hoover extension was chopped up and sacrificed,... Will deal with consequences when she gets back (brave)

    Purchased this 'weldable' filler cap on web. Wanted as big a diameter as poss as never seem to be able to fill these quickly when needed! Have to maximise space under orig tank so machined down to the min.

    Modified old tank, including blanking off old filler, remove top corner breather, repair dents, insert ram-air tubes. All fibreglassed in then filled. First tube hole cut very carefully then used masking tape to trace shape and convert to other side.

    Fitted tank and air hoses loose, to figure out best run fir tubes. Originally was going to be on outside of front fairing, but hoses too close to grips, looked just right curving back into centre.

    So scoured garage for a possible bottle to provided a mould shape. There's always something lurking which can be used! Turned black plastic part would provide exact size for sit tuble later. Wrapped in clingfilm then P40 mix.

    Original plan was to split them one duct each side.

    So recycled the 2 single scoops into one,... Back on the mould. This would also be more like the NSR pics of JM's bike with one main central duct.

    Spent some time drawing duck, made half then traced onto masking tape and flipped over to ensure as symmetrical as possible. Cut with multiple small drill holes then filed through.

    P40'd in edge after lots of sanding and trimming to fit internal shape of fairing.

    Took all apart to glass up properly. Then spent some time with bull-nose grinder bit in Dremel,... Very therapeutic!!

    All back together now, looking at split for paint job, where lines will be might even wrap instead of paint which will help stop the super thin fibreglass splitting??
