Fired up the welder last night to finish off my ignition coil mounting bracket. 95% done with the work for the next article.

Part 5 is finished and will be up on MotoIQ tomorrow. Here's one last quick teaser showing what I've been working on...though the plug wire routing shown in this picture doesn't reflect the actual routing chosen.

Very nice! I've got the same FST, I was thinking of going with hose/lines, but I'm thinking I may steal your idea and see about doing steel tubing instead

Looks great!!

Been a long time since I have had a chance to put a lot of work into the project, but I'm finally on the verge of releasing the next article. Here's a sneak peak...

Thanks. Biggest problem with that right now would be the fact that this setup is very custom and requires significant chassis modification. I have a good idea of how to offer a drop in solution, but it would require a lot of interest for me develop the kit and it wouldn't be cheap.

Nothing like boring a two inch hole in the side of your intake elbow...

It's crazy because minus a few things we have pretty much the same build. Can't wait to see an update I'm close to starting mine up I'm just waiting for the last parts in the mail
