I might have come up with a slightly different option for this but not had enough time to complete it fully yet. Im going to run Gull arm water pump and oil/water cooler as the water pump cover already has the correct outlets and by the looks the hose wont be as close to the fairing panel. This is all in the early stages but will post up some pics if anyone is interseted?

I own a gullarm cbr and I'll have a closer look at the pump cover and I know the heat exchanger will fit.

Neo, your right, why fit it if it's not needed but that's not why we do things is it, if it does cool things I think it was worth the effort.

Ive only had a quick glance at them but i think the only difference in the covers seems to be that the nc has an extra lug to keep the pump in place and the gull arm one doesn't as it has its fixing lug on the actual pump.
So my plan was to make a bracket to overcome this. But want to get a better look at them before i can say for sure.

Scrap the gullarm idea.
Just compared them and unfortunatly the hole centres are very slightly different :( . I opened up the cover holes a few mm bigger and still were just off so looks like a no go.
