Pipercross PX600 Airbox #4

Cut out the panel from aluminium sheet, cut a hole in the centre then fitted a plastic duct to the back of the plate. The largest duct that I could get that would fit above gone radiator was 80 mm high with a 76mm outlet. 

I then used an adaptor to move the diameter up go 100mm for the duct. Fixed in place with hose clamps. Fitted a strip of foam tape on the bottom edge to seal against the top of the radiator. Will fix the plate in to the top of the nose cone and tiger seal in place later.

Fitted a plate underneath the radiator to block off the airflow and to try to force more air through the radiator and down the intake ducting. There should be a reasonable amount of cold air entering the engine and may get a ram air effect at higher speeds. Will monitor intake air temps from the sensor fitted inside of the airbox.
