wot a wierd setup never ever ever seen one like that before. . the gas splitter (thing wiv screw an spring at end of hose) is too close to inlet this is normally found half way up pipe and is used to get correct mixture into carby. usually tuned in whilst engine is held at about 3 grand revs. normally  runs a mixer designed to fit ova top of carby ( yes usually sealed with silicone) then air filter sits on top of the mixer  (again usually silicone sealed ,but also independantly fixed eg silicone is NOT only thing afixing an holding mixer to carby ,filter to mixer) tuning is as said before done whilst holding motor around 3 grand revs .screw splitter down till revs begin to die then back off screw till motor again begins to die somewherer in middle of those two points is corect setting. then with egine at idle one usually tunes in the idle mix wiv small sprung screw on converter . personally raz i do not like th look of that setup .. but just my opinion ol mate jus my opinion cheers

There should be a bolt holding the elbow down under the gaffa tape.
Also loks like the mixeris mountedsomewhere under the seat - most are mounted in the engine bay - but it doesnt matter where.

the mixer is mounted underneath the engine bay

just noticed that would be the air filter just mounted forward of th elbow into th eng bay itself, ja?, didnt like look of as thought (unusual  ) air intake  was open straight into eng bay please , excuse my assumption       

[SkippyThBushKangeroo]

it looks like the elbow is the mixer raz , where the splitter goes in at top of dome is where mixture is introduced to th carby. the long horizontal elbow bit extendin into eng bay is yor air intake duct where it hits th bend an goes vertical is the mixer bit the spliiter leans or enriches the mix goin down  into the engine

Sorry, I meant the CONVERTER is under the engine.
The mixer pokes through that aluminum elbow. It ends above the centre of the carb in what looks like a down facing banjo.
The elbow joins a rubber hose that goes to the air filter.
I checked today and there is nowhere for a bolt in the centre to screw in to.

Ben, it appears to be a factory made thing from something else. The welds you see are mounds of black and blue goo. The gaffer was covering the hole. I have plugged it since (in a manner that will not pull through).

Any tips on what i can temporarily use for a front indicator lens? I am still chasing a real one but need to go for RWC this week.

cheers

Round trailer lights (running lights) are almost identcal, I run two on my van, think they were $8 each any auto store will have them.
