Great work. Nice detail touches.

They are about an inch away, and yes it's something I need to address.  I'm going to pick up some 15 degree ends and see if that helps.  Nothing really to tie them back on down there

Crap... i'm not so sure 15° bends are going to help much, and they might be just enough to give you a clearance problem with that starter, right? I'm going to look for some more solutions. At $3 each, I'm not to concerned with having a couple extra straight swivel seal fititngs laying around

so after a bit of looking around, i ran into this image.



it looks like we can tuck them back far enough. i asked this bikes owner, and he's had no issues. all things considered, that area of the bike gets a good amount of air while moving. if you're ceramic coating your pipes (which i am not), then you should have even less to worry about.

check out these little wire brackets he has (my bike has it as well). i think this is the ticket.



also, i noticed the two bolt holes on the engine/head there, one on each side. might be able to fab up a line holder out of something that mounts in one of those holes that keeps the lines close to the starter.

looking around at fittings and whatnot, i think the 60° fittings that aeroquip has MIGHT work... but they clock in at $20/per, so I'm willing to give it a shot without them first. aside from that, no other real options unless you put in an inverted-flare hardline with a custom 90° bend... but then you've got a metric-to-AN adapter, followed by an AN-to-InvertedFlare adapter, followed by inverted flare hardline, followed by InverterFlare-to-AN adapter, followed by AN-6 fitting... too many potential leaky spots for my comfort level... plus it'll look ridiculous...

That looks like it will work great Corey, thanks!

That is where the side-fairing supports screw in on the full faired SS

gotcha. my bike probably doesn't have them at all then...

i think all the 900s do.  it is in the cylinder casting. just a blind threaded hole, M8
