Building the bomb

As space is going to rapidly get tight, Make a sub-assembly of the rotrex and bracket and all the tubing/hoses.

So, away from the bike - attach supplied pre-cut oil feed lines to the rotex unit (nice that the banjo fittings are already clocked to their proper positions) using the supplied clamps. Long 29" out hose on top of unit, shorter 22" in on the front side. The rotrex has a flat base denoting the bottom of the unit to assist orientation.

 Attach the rotrex to the bracket with the 4 long tiny screws, remember the casting is aluminum, so use blue threadlocker and don't overtorque.

There's an asymmetric 135 degree elbow that clamps to the inlet, pointing virtually straight up with the opening facing the right side of the bike. (I marked mine for clarity)

Now clamp on the 90 degree outlet silicone tube, pointing directly across the bike to the left side. 
The kit comes with a complicated looking piece of precut heat shielding, practise several times with the backing still on until it makes sense, then peel and stick. Make sure your clamps are secure as they'll be buried under the shielding.
