I have decided to bypass an original looking forward scoop and have a rear facing scoop, due to my scoop being quite high. Will be going to the hood edge which is about 6-7" away from the windscreen. The windscreen is going to be the original but am making a small 9" high polycarbonate screen that goes right across, so not sure on the air effect in that area, but for looks its 1000% better!

I think 6-7" is okay from the rear of scoop to screen to pick up air. To my way of thinking unless its an original scoop anything larger than that is just plain ugly.

Another bigger issue is the air filter, and I cant see the point in oval and small air filters, the oval dropped filters restrict in the side entry to carb, I have now a proper 14" setup, which makes the scoop a bit wider, and just have room for a 4" high air filter which has >2.5" above the carb flange!
