Hi all Just wondering if any one could tell me what the width of the tunnel down the centre or the car is and what height it is. Just trying to plan pipe work and was wondering what space I had to play with  Cheers Ads |

Hi Ads
You don't have to fit the tunnel if you didn't want to, it's possible to get everything nice and tight and tidy along the centre and leave the tunnel out it keeps the middle a lot more clear:-) just a thought :-)

I'm with Andy on that one,tunnels are so last year  But if you must, the dimensions are 105mm tall, 120mm wide at the bottom and 70mm wide at the top. The height can be raised if you sit the tunnel on some box section rather than cut slots out to sit over the chassis seat rails. Cheers Kev |

Thanks Andy.
Thanks for the suggestions. Can you point me in the right direction for a picture that shows a build with no tunnel on.
Cheers

On my tR1ke I have bent the center tunnel back to a 18cm wide base. Also raised the tunnel by 2,5cm. Much more easily and neat installation.   |

Andy's thread would be a good place to look for a tunnel free tR1ke plus mine of cause

I like my tunnel, and it gives me an armrest for cruising, unlike the standard or indeed no tunnel.

I think I'm going the tunnel route. Just my opinion but looks neater. Just trying to creat a clean straight look

Having the coolant hoses not running in the tunnel will prevent heat radiation from the hot hose to the cooled hose. This can work to have the engine run cooler if desired. Several have had some engines runnning a tad too warm. be sure you cannot burn on the hoses.

Both Andy's and Kevin's tunneless conversions look slick...

Sent from my Nexus 5 using proboards I also have an armrest when going on distances like Donny show, the space between the seats without the tunnel is just the right size for my 3 man tent come armrest Adam If you're using paddleshift gearchange and your ignition switch is on the dash, there's enough room in the tunnel, the std r1 setup has extra coolant hoses from the water cooled oil cooler that take space in the tunnel. I know you have an oil cooler, but that could be fitted at the rear like the mevabusa if you choose to run the cooler. |
