As you can see the ram air duct sits nicely in the race glass, but how can I secure the front snorkels to the front nose cone? when removing the glass, ill just disconnect the elbow that goes between the bike and the snorkel

Any ideas?

If the glass is going into the tube why would you want to fasten it?.....Would just be more of a PITA when you wanna get it off in a hurry...

If you did wanna fasten maybe a big arse hose clamp!

d-ring (dzus) fastner would be practical, quick releasing and reusable.

Dzus fasteners sounds like a good idea!

Wetty, whats race tape?

Cable ties won't work gents! Tony, the plumbing fits nicely, I ordered the resonators too (ebay!) Thank you!!

All I can say is, SECURE IT! I didn't and mine was ripped off at the end of the straight and took a nice chunk of my farings with it (they were cracked already). I hit me so hard on the elbow that it took my left hand off the bar! I thought I'd hit a bird till I got off the bike... True story.

+1 to Duct ... remember the cheap stuff goes off in a year or so. So check it regular!
