Due to the location of the bimota fuel rail, i am unable to refit the coolant pipe-work that goes from the top of the jacket to the thermostat housing. To resolve this myself and a friend attempted to reshape it with a hammer and brute force, however it went quite wrong and the spigots that fit into the jacket would not go (they were misplaced from there original position).

I managed to obtain another set of pipes via ebay and have brazed up a pipe-work so that the old spigots can be used and linked to the ebay-sourced part. I will post a picture of this when i get chance.
