Not sure what you’re trying to accomplish but you’ve answered your own question

1 push in plastic collar on fitting
2 pull out airlines
3 wind out fitting
4 verify fitting size
5 install 1/8th npt pipe plugs

Default Pipe removal

Cleaning up the back end of bike completely...won't be a bagger anymore...battery going under seat etc..
never been any air in them since I've had it and it rides just fine, so don't see any point in keeping the pipework..
I was just checking in case any body came up with any serious reason not too or recommend some sort of procedure
thanks
Bob
