Those parts look drop dead gorgeous. One question thouogh:
I dunno about four strokes. But on the two street bike I run on the street(Yamaha RD), individual filters are a no no. There is not enough dead air in the intake system to keep up with demand from the engine. We use a y-boot setup with a big K&N filter to give enough dead area. I wonder if a larger common plenum than the one that harrop offers would be the ticket.

Anyone tried making a plenum using the design concept headers embody - e.g. 4 pipes coming off of the TB's and merging into 1? I know it's not the same concept as the air is being pushed through it the opposite way and at a slower rate, but I would think that would work better than the pictures we see here of existing plenums. Dunno...

thats ******* gorgeous man, good luck with everything 
If this is staying N/A I would shoot for a really tight lsa...like 106 degrees. Those intakes love tight lsa's and can make insane amounts of power with great drivability on wild cams.
