Default Second opinions wanted on this cooling system layout

Before I go ahead and pipe anything up I'd like a second opinion on the cooling system for my turbo Kawasaki ZX10R engine...

The original bike radiator used a pressure relief cap and the pipe immediately below it was piped to an expansion bottle.

I'd like to run a header tank instead, and have made some alterations to the standard cooling system diagram as you can see below, without having to modify the radiator etc that I already have this would be the simplest way of piping it up.

Anyone spot any obvious mistakes or flaws?

I cant see a problem with that providing the header tank is higher than the rad

Good stuff

Yeah, the bottom of the header tank is a few inches higher than the top of the rad.
