    Well sent an email to Rich at Austin Racing with the new pipe laid on the headers and if I can cut headers to length and mark where things need to go they will then join things up for me which is great news :)

    looking at the clip ons they are raised, I have the same ones. I don't know if they have ones that are raised even more....
    great news on the headers, and by the looks of it, it's all starting to piece together rather nicely!

    Yes it is indeed Skippy :) Just had it running with headers on, bloody loud still!! Warmed it right up to 100C then she boiled over haha was running plan water only though and the fan didnt come on, I think it was jammed.. Going to try again in a bit now ive freed it up a bit.

    Had a reply from Harris they say they are the 50mm ones.. Oh well thats my back buggered :)

    Not sure if you have 1 or 2 fans, but if only only 1 fan, maybe add a second one and put it on a manual switch. I have my race bikes all with manual switches. you do have to keep an eye on the temp though. Otherwise take the thermo out so the the water circulates from the go and not only from 60°/70°+
