Hey Little Burt,

Here are a couple more pics that along with Ninja's pics should help you out.

Chrome speedometer bezel removed

Unclip these three connectors from tank along with gas tank breather hose

Remove 2 nuts from tail end of fuel tank

Remove 2 bolts and cover from head end of fuel tank, then 2 more bolts from under the cover

Gently remove tank and secure with straps (I hung mine from garage door railing)

As Ninja said there is no need to remove the fuel tank lines. Sorry, no pics of the BAK
mod, I did the same mod to the air box that Ninja did.

Hope this helps,

Shawn

thanks boatwrench every little picture helps me. any other thing i should know about the install? burt

 

[boatwrench1]

One thing is make sure you get the rear small crank filter installed so it is straight up and down......if it's leaning over at all, it will blow oil out onto the rear rocker cover and back onto the sidecover. If you'll notice is the pics, mine is not right, I had to take the tank back off and stand that filter up.

I would like to get those K & N part numbers off those filters so i can order them from K & N direct. If anyone has them please. Joe

[ boatwrench thank you for all your advice and pictures for me to get this project done right. burt

As Ninja said there is no need to remove the fuel tank lines. Sorry, no pics of the BAK
mod, I did the same mod to the air box that Ninja did.

The way I understood it is that Ninja just released the back two bolts of the tank and then lifted the rear and hung that from the ceiling. I am just putting the K&N filter in with holes in the top of the airbox so is this correct about just raising the rear of the tank and hanging it?

Hey Desertraider

You will have to take off the bolts at the head of the tank as well. The fuel lines are attatched at the rear of the tank and won't allow you to lift the rear of the tank very far, as you can see from my last picture. That is as far as the rear could be raised without disconnecting the fuel lines.

hope this helps,

shawn

 

[boatwrench1]

Just disconnect the lines, and get that tank off the bike and set it out of the way. Why take a chance on it getting, scratched, dinged, dented, falling, ect, hanging it like that. It'll take ya a whole 15 min more.

 

[Low and Mean]

Would anyone be interested in exposed K&N filters on both sides of the bike?

I would be interested in seeing what it looked like on the raider at least!!!

 

[little burt]

i would also like to see what it looks like. burt

 

[Nomadken]

I still can't figure out why they put the air filters under the tank. How can that be efficient?
Oh well, mine is not to question why, mine is to ride!
