The last picture above shows the plug for the enclosure for the coils and fuse box and starter solenoid resting approximately where it should sit, behind and below the headstock.
I was worried at this point that the extremely close fit between the bottom of the tank and the top of the rear cylinder would turn that part of the tank into a petrol boiler. Also with the coil enclosure effectively partially blocking airflow to the rear cylinder, which already has a reputation for running hot and the planned panels to fit between the top and bottom frame rails immediately aft of the headstock to prevent moisture ingress to the electrics I was concerned that the carbs would also be starved of cold air.
Accordingly some scoops were fabricated to direct air to the carb area and to divert air to the rear cylinder.
How they will be fixed in position is yet to be determined
