The pipercross air filter and backplate I
ordered arrived today. I remade the
backplate from cardboard, fitted the new smaller gsxr750 trumpets and tried the
air filter under the bonnet. Not
surprisingly it didn’t fit; infact it was about 30mm too high. This means I will probably end up cutting a
hole in the bonnet (which I don’t want to do) or making an airbox to fit under
the bonnet.
I have seen a nice airbox on locostbulders
that uses the bonnet as the top of the airbox to maximize space. Ill try a cardboard mock up soon.

The bonnet was resting on the Pipercross filter so wasnt sitting on the chassis rails. Photos below show how much too high it was sitting.
