Custom Airtech Passenger Seat

Hi,
Nice work, but I have to ask why you mounted the VR the wrong way round ?
The fins need air moving along their surfaces for max cooling, the way you have it there is only radiation cooling not radiation & convection cooling .

Any heat is bad for electronics which os why on my VR it has heatsinking paste on the underside with acustom made filler plate so that the underside is also cooled by the material of the mount bracket & the air flowing over that from the back wheel.

I think his setup is nice.
i need a electrical remodeling. and yes, no problems and been riding like this for a good two tire lives (8000+miles)
(can you spot my r6 VR??)

I had to laugh about the fire extinguisher part considering the fire that got started in the basement the other week.

Also where is Yam93?

Haha, umm I blew that fire out. I didn't even need to bust out the extinguisher!

George,
We thought about the cooling on the VR and decided that the R6 VR is pretty resilient. Also the way most people mount it is they ditch the stock "heatsink." While it doesn't do much, the plate is also dissipating a little heat.

Is that reservior mounted below the brake MC? When I installed my r6 MC I could not mount the reservior on the triple like that because the line would have to go up to the reservior...

But I also notice you have your levers rotated downards.

The levers are just like that because it was comfortable with my riding position i was in.

As far as the brake master cylinder i dont really remember anymore cause my bike is all apart, but as i remember there was no angle between the reservoir line and the master cylinder. I think it was straight over. What nate did was bend a Z bracked out of aluminum and mount that to the triple. You should give that a try he made it look easy, you'll just need an extra screw and nut to secure the reservoir to the z bracket.
