Anders, "shorty" dirt bike control levers work great. You can get them at places that sell motocross bikes. Get the more expensive pro grade forged ones. They bend rather than fracture when you hit the deck. The cheap cast ones break.
Great news! The ones I am interested in are cnc milled from 6061 T6 aluminum so they should be ok.

It sounds like Sweden's TV hasn't changed much since I was in Stockholm quite a few years ago-- the only thing on TV then was a re-run of "Sanford and Son". I mentioned this to a friend and he said "if you think this is bad, take a look at Norwegian TV!"

On the Swedish channels it is mostly news and brittish criminal dramas, I very rarely watch tv so I can´t say for sure if it is better or worse now than for 10 years ago. Otherwise it is mostly crappy american series like Friends and 2 1/2 men people look at...
Last night started off by making a quick release mount for the air intake.
After that I cleaned up the work bench, spit in my hands and removed everything from the air intake in order to take it out of the frame.
It became quite a pile on my newly cleaned up bench.
With the air intake out of the frame I could do the two things on the list that concerned it, the heftiest one was to weld it so that was what I did first.
After a while it looked like this, a bit more rigid now I assume.
The second and last job on the air intake was to add an underpressure gauge to it so I can see if the engine is starved of air at higher revs, without that gauge I have no idea if I should blame an undersized powerturbine NGV or the intake in case the exhaust temps go through the roof during the test run.
Ready to be welded to the air intake.
And here it is in place right next to the oil regulator and perfectly visible for the rider.
Finally a pic with the gauge added.
Cheers!
