Are you sure that the rectifier is going to have enough air flow over it to keep it cool? To me it looks like it will overheat being inside that cover like that.

 

looks great. good job! i couldn't see the horn in the pics???

 

being an air cleaner, I would assume it would get enuff air. But don't quote me one it

It gets plenty of air. The horn is behind the rectifier. There is about an inch and a half of space between the two. That way the back of the rectifier can get some air.

cool idea, looks good. where did you get the plate to mount the coils and such to?

 

Plate is made by akitadog. He is a member of this website. Plate is $39 shipped.

 

Looks good! Pic of the front?

 

 

See guys, it hasn't all be done yet. Nice job!!

That's very true OldMan....

That's the perfect place to hide the rectifier - will definately stay cool enough - as it's getting really good airflow in that position.


Wiring looks tidy too!

Great idea!

 

I have a question , would it be a problem when i do the BAK
To run both the 1/2 " vent lines into one crankcase filter to save space
Because i dont see the need for two , is it possible
Thanks. DailyRider

 

Not really, one's inhale and ones exhale
The crank breather may oil/choke up your LCV.

 

where did you get that right side intake?

 

I don't know if it's cool to chime in after so long but I'm really curious what the part number on your K&Ns you used for this BAK are? Did they bolt right on or is there rubber tubing in between?

Also I had an 02 R6 (that are well known for recharge system problems) and I had to put in a new stator and voltage regulator. The original one looked normal except that the back of it, (it's kind of glossy and smooth, no fins) was cracked. I'm sure this is a result of an overheat. This same surface is on the one on our bikes. I learned the hard way, I bought an aftermarket regulator (pooped out on first ride), then I replaced all the wiring and put in the OEM (expensive) one. I'm sure his will get enough air in the air cleaner box.... the one for the R6 was under the seat by the rear shock attached to the battery box. From what I learned through my process it is best to have the regulator attached to a metal surface....this way heat can transfer through and dissipate. A lot of those guys attached theirs with the back to the frame so the heat could transfer into the frame (the battery box it was mounted to was plastic)

that may be a good bit of info to know. I have the SS intake on mine and once I am able to do a BAK, I want to keep it on the bike (I like the look of it), and use it for something else. Maybe storage or who knows. But since I also like the scoop on the left side, and there's already a metal bracket there, maybe hiding the rectifier inside the scoop is doable?
