I got my exhaust, tuner, and high flow air cleaner. My question is is it imperative that I lift the gas tank up to do the air cleaner and if so is it a pain in the *** to do?
depends which air cleaner you are installing- Ness, no. you can do the swap with tank in place, but mask it in case your wrench slips.
screaming eagle yes as you will be removing the throttle body brace from the intake, you need the room.
removing teh tank is dead easy- let the bike sit for hours and there will be no pressure in the fuel lines when you pop the connector, otherwise you need to run the bike and pull the fuel pump fuse...let run until stalls.
I'd like to do some 'sperimentin' with the 14 intake.
pm me if you want to let it go cheep
thanks

Yes it the SE. I like the intake cover on the 14 but thank you. Is the tank a bitch to take off?
Tank is easy. Just two bolts in the front on the neck and two bolts by the seat. Unplug the fuel line. Of course u have to remove the seat and the tank panel. For the panel remove the gas cap and the screw on the front of the panel.
I just removed the 4 bolts and propped the area by the seat up about 3 inches with a piece of styrofoam so I could get to the two bolts that hold the bracket.
