@Nomad, good to hear from you as well! Thank you

@Dave, spoke with him week ago, in middle of remodeling his kitchen... Do you want his email? He would love hearing from you...

I couldn't help myself, just file these in folder labeled "Doesn't serve purpose, but looks tits"



Drawing inspiration from K&N race series street rod manifold pipes... except these will be mounted like bent "stacks" that will peek out from the rear of chassis..



I've modified pipe from bathroom sink trap I found in Plumbing section at Home depot...











made manifold mount from Blue transparent acrylic, I was lucky to get handful of these red anodized 6/32 machine screws from Twizted old online store, Dragonmodz.. which is now closed.., but You can get anodized machine screws from Parts-Express, http://www.fastener-express.com/

For what it's worth the switch circuit made me panic for a moment because of the way ground is connected but it is for the LED I would guess. For anyone working with a SPDT switch (which also has three connectors) that is not how to wire it

Correct, Toggle I'm using has LED. I just discovered some parts are on back order, so I'm having to ask for deadline extension and wait on finishing some stages.



I installed our polished Machined aluminum "Diamond Knurl" pc case feet which are made in HAAS cnc lathe.



The base diameter is 1- 3/4" with height of 1" to elevate the case for improved airflow beneath it.







For internal lighting, I've chosen installed Orange signal lights.



I added one of the factory cable grommet to the top, for all of the wires from Toggle Switch and CPU Load Tachometer. You can swivel and aim these Signal lights in whatever direction you like...



The signals I found are universal fit for Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, or Quad ATV. Here is the Reseller link on Ebay

love the signal turn lights, thats awesome idea!
Those Velocity style cooling fans, they do look fantastic, but i'm guessing its rendered useless with all that stuff blocking its intended purpose to blow air?

Thank you! The velocity fans have large perforated holes that provide ample airflow





Top carry handle fabricated & welded from 3/4" steel tubing



I've added aluminum Diamond plate for base of the CPU Load Tachometer.



2x 140mm black anodized fan / radiator grill with 15mm spacing, the inserts can be manually rotated.
