Are you deliberately trying to piss me off Metiz? No, I'm trying to be funny, and failing, apparently.

Didn´t mean to sound like a jerk, you just so happend to put your finger on the one thing that really pisses me off. When I have to defend a personal decision over and over again I usually blow a fuse, just ask my feancee how I react when she tells me that I don´t need butter in the frying pan when I fry bacon...

LOL.......being very fond of bacon myself, I've done some research on it and found the modern "lean pork" makes crappy bacon , just not a high enough fat content to do the job of frying the bacon whilst leaving sufficient fat in the pan for frying the eggs so that they get that crispy brown edge on them , .....................thankfully I found a supplier of free range bacon that has a more traditional layer of fat on the bacon which does an excellent job with not only the eggs but enough left over to fry some bread in the remains ........ makes for a perfect Sunday breakfast :-)

you can do what i do and put the hot bacon grease through a coffee filter and then save it in chunks for later then you have all the bacon grease for eggs at any time

Today I started making the air box on my lunch brake, lucky me who have access to an industrial cutter and bender at work! Tonight I started to fit the pieces together, here I am about to cut open the hole for the compressor inlet. A roundish shape appeared. After that I rolled a 20mm strip of aluminum to a ring which holds the air box to the compressor inlet. With that done I welded the sides. This is what it will look like, an air deflector will cover the intake from bird spillings and dropped bolts (thanks for that idea John!) and steer the ram air from the front fairing intakes down into the air box. I might add a small radius on the sides just to assist the air while idling in the pits but only if it won´t be in the way of my arms. I wouldn´t hold my balls too close to this place at 66.000rpm... One last pic, it looks like I can keep a very narrow frontal area on the bike. Cheers! /Anders

Today I got some work done on the two aluminum tanks for fuel and oil. Since I will add fittings, mounts, filling tubes, fuel/oil level tubes etc later I cannot do more than this now, at least they can be strapped to the bike now. Kerosine tank spot welded together. And here it is in place, the ground clearance is 9cm which should be enough since I haven´t exactly planned taking it to the motocross track... Here the oil tank is hung in place, I will cut the front at an angle later so it looks less like a brick and might steer some air up towards the oil cooler. I´ve also decided to move the oil filter since it was too restrictive for the incoming ram air as is was fitted to the steering head, much shorter oil lines as well! Definitively better air flow now! Another thing that has been bothering me is the size of the oil cooler, the reason why I try to use it is because I had it on the shelf since the jetcart days. I decided to remove it and try to find a more suitable cooler that is low enough to get out of the way from the front wheel suspension travel, with spike tyres and only a couple of centimeters to the oil cooler is would have been like begging for trouble... Cheers! /Anders

Hi Anders
Have you considered having a fuel/oil cooling system , some lube scavange tubing in the bottom of the fuel tank might be all thats required for the short run times you'll be doing .
Cheers John

Fuel cooling oil sounds good for your setup, especially good for winter events then oil can heat up kero Sven

That is a very good idea! I will rearrange the tanks and try to fit the scavange pumps where the cooler would have been, pics will follow as soon as I have tried it.
