Tezz,
Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate it.
I thought it was the hose to the rear, but
just wanted to make sure. Glad I will not have
to remove the airbox, this will make the job much easier.
Great work, thanks again.
Ride Safe.

PS I love the way your exhaust can looks, is that a stock one
that you painted or anodized?

Thanks Russ. It's a stock can I lightly sand blasted and painted with 1200f high temp paint and then polished the end capps. So far it has held up to the heat and if anything the heat from the can has made the paint even stronger like it's baked on.
It is entirely necessary that you reinstall the plastic heat shield? I was in there the other day replacing plugs and left it out b/c it was such a PITA. Didn't look like it performed any really useful function except pissing me off.

Most likely no gains in my opinion but I don't really know. Any weight savings is a plus even if it's just a little here and a little there. I do know the bike is easier to tune on a dyno with it blocked.

O2 readings are more accurate---makes sense to me. i think i'll try this this weekend. i am becoming a pro at putting that damn heatshield back on---this time it only took me 20 minutes to reassemble everything i took apart to change my coils
Wow nice how-to. For those who just wanna block the AIS and not completely remove it, you can go to HighBimmin.com for the how-to..
Yes your write up is very nice. Thanks for the link. I remembered seeing that somewhere. I had mine blocked also. Since I was working on my bike in the area and there was a thread about completely removing the system I decided to take it all out. Either way will work.
