Peeled off the Left Side Tupperware (i can do it quick now!) to replace a broken power-lead to my radar detector.
It's wired into Fuze block mounted on the foam heat shield just behind the stowage compartment.
Decided that while I'm in there, I needed to inspect/clean the Resusable K+N style Air Filter that I intalled last year.
At about 5k miles, it was barely even dirty, but I cleaned it out anyway.
Anybody ELSE find accessing the air filter portal is a H U G E PITA???

Particularly after installing a ROSTRA??
I knew this was going to not be fun, but it was hard to avoid. It was also not easy to extract the after market filter with rubber surrounds from the airbox housing. Yikes.
Plan to button it up after the filter dries and gets re-oiled.
Safe Riding!
