What a day! Got the engine running today! cranked the engine with the plugs out to get some oil pressure, it took a min but cracked the oil filter off
and that sorted it, primed the fuel through and she started up! I was well chuffed! Sounds so good!
The rats nest that needs sorting!

Are those injectors on the top of air box a secondary set,or are they the only injectors?
Do you need to keep air box with this engine,if not how do you go about getting those injectors mounted with a foam filter etc?

Today's job was brake pipes, had to go my motor spares shop 3 times as the fittings I had ordered weren't going to work out right, this
meant I didn't get going till about 11:30
I'm happy how they have all turned out but I did find it a bit of a faf about, the fittings I brought from various places are all different,
also you read about sae and din flares etc, in the end I did test flares in all my fitting types to check they seated properly and the back edge
wasn't damaged by the fitting, also when I tighten them up I'm going to undo them and check the flares have seated correctly, I'm
going to get my brake flex's made up tomorrow to all being well!

Also got a coat of black on the rear calipers so they match the fronts

look good, as above pretty sure making your own will fail iva,hence why I asked 
What ratio is your diff?
Only ask as I've had mine converted to a 3.38 for my R1, as 3.62 was too low for road use imo.
Topped out at 120mph on the limiter in sixth on rolling road, and was circa 7000rpm cruising at 70mph so was too busy!

Good bit done tonight, I decided my brake pipes looked a bit bodge in copper colour so put some heat shrink over them, was a right pain in the butt,
would of been loads easier before I flared the fittings on the end but turned out ok in the end
Also my dad had cut my fuel tank strap out for me today, just needed to bend it up! It came out sweet, I will get it powder coated I think
Just need to trim the ends to length and sort the holes out

That tank strap is a work of art. I love the attention to detail with your build, very impressive. Neat idea with the brake pipes too.

Cheers, yeah it does look cool but it's still simply two straps like everyone else, as for heat shrink, it's great, makes stuff look so
neat!

A full day of sticky wiring on Saturday, me and my dad unwrapped the entire loom and relocated everything into position and everything into the
cockpit etc, to be fair it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be, also we removed things not required like stop watch buttons,
sidestand etc, we stripped the lighting back so we just have the feeds coming out of the fuse box, next job is get the lights and dash bits roughly in
place and get wiried up
This morning we mocked up a new air box in card, I'm aiming to fab it up in aluminium, the problem is the top injectors, the std box is to high
and out to the side, the new idea is a bit lower but not out to the side, I think if I did it as is I would need a bulge/scoop around 100mm high on
the bonnet, I'm open to any ideas if anyone has any,
Also I'm thinking of using a cone filter with a cold feed, mounted on the front like others have done

Still looking great.
I know Mac1 made an airbox for zx10 engines, so may be worth searching for some pictures of them; not sure if they were for engines with secondary
injectors or not though.
What thickness steel did you used for the panel your lower steering column bearing is bolted to? That's something I want to change in my car
over winter, so it's got a bearing rather than just a bush.

Yeah that's what I've sort of copied, this is Big Macs
I used 2mm but I did also put a short fold in it right on the lower edge to stiffen it up for the pedal box

Change of plan haha I've just seen this idea, it clamps a foam/k&n filter between the two plates
Also the injector height could easily altered to keep it as low as possible and altered if it causes a bhp drop,
