Here you go paul.....



Mine is made of 2 brackets,a heavy gauge 90 degree one at the back which fastens to the coilpack bracket and the bulkhead and an aluninium one at the front which is actually made from a Honda CBR600 radiator bracket...

May have some brackets left mate if you need them,will have a look on Monday when i go back up to the workshop.....

Sits far enough behind the vent to make it fairly immune to the rain mate..

Like Mike R,i`m not bothering with a strut brace as the Escos seem a lot stiffer than my saffy was anyways and i`m running a mirror image breather with the condensing tank on the other side of the engine so space aint a prob.....

Nor will you/Me Paul, as the bailey breather pot will get in the way!

Damo's looks the best option otherwise it'll be where Ahmed mounts them, behind the RHS headlight/wing.

Damo is that a EECIV bracket you've used?
