So with the wiring loom sorted, I turned my attention to the air box.
There is a removal procedure in the manual bur not a reinstall one.. just reverse the removal of course... its just a bit odd as most of the other components have both in the manual...
Anyhu, I pulled the lid off the box, it was pretty clean so just a blow out and put a bit of oil on the moving parts inside, put back together and gave the outside a good clean.
About to start putting it in and remembered the bike used to have a power comander!
After 10 mins of searching I found and installed that into the loom under where the airbox sits..
Onto getting the box in... what a fucken ball ache!!!! It's do fucken tight and visibility is shit! Nearly put it in with out the drain tube also so a few steps backwards...
Then ya gotta feed that tube and the throttle and choke cables through the correct pathways simultaneously as ya squeeze the box in... ( without scatching fuck outta ya nice paint job!!!!)
Just before she is home there is a shifty plug offa the power commander to try and get ya fingers to... then try and push it home while trying to see that it's not snagging any cables or hoses that ya might not have routed correctly ( there was one as I had misinterpreted one of the diagrams)
Then do up the clamps for the throttle bodies. Ya gotta have em in the right orientation to get a driver to em and ghe fuckers wanna spin as you try to tighten em!
Obviously there is no way of getting a hand to em...

All and all a Guinness of a job that I hope never to have to do again..
Didn't take many pics as I was to pissed off and those I took are probably shit as I'm about as good a photographer as I am a mechanic!!!!!
