Default FMIC On Hawkeye

Hi, I'm going to fit one on my hawkeye this weekend, all going to plan!
Has anyone on here fitted one them selves especially on a hawkeye?
I've also read something about a air pump or water sump being in the way of running the pipe work? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Chris

Firstly no 2 makes makes of kit are the same . Pipe work varies , cores vary in shape & size.
Your goin to need to cut & position also if your adding water spray your goin to need to re configure takes time to do the job right ...
It's a learning curve but easily do able for the tech savvy , you may even learn a few things about your car ( like how to remove the lights quickly ) ha ha
Yea don't be afraid enjoy your wknd

I have a Perrin fmic on my hawk.. Although I didn't fit it myself, the only thing that was changed was the expansion bottle.. I've got a small dumpy one now.

Easy solved m8 , go to a bike shop & buy a hard anodised water bottle making sure the top has a decent diameter . Pref flat , run the overflow tube through the drink spout & drill a hole next to it same diameter for a vent . Job done ... Plenty diff lengths , shapes & sizes out there so take your pic ... Install your pipe work first then you will know how much room you have to play with , measure then go buy the tank

Job done
