Looking good!
How were things under the airbox?
Was there much goo on the backsides of those throttle bodies?
You know, if you keep this up (cleaning and/or replacing everything) sooner or later you'll have to start it up and ride.

Thanks bud,
Got the title, plates and insurance yesterday so I am officially ready to roll.
However, found my front tire is slowly leaking air around the valve stem. Aargh! But getting her back together right now. So, a tire pressure check and a short cruise around the block this afternoon. Once it stops sprinkling rain.
Also, got the broke front signal replaced. All the lights work off the key but the brake light threw me for a short loop. But after going through wiring schematic found its powered from the kill sw. Which I had in the kill position. Works as intended, w warning light on the dash, light monitor unit and hit both brake controls. :2thumbup:
I didnt pull the airbox all the way out. They got it swedged in there pretty darn tight.
I pulled the snorkel off, and was able to pull the top just enough to slip the old out filter and new into place.
I can see its kinda nasty under the box though. I jammed a tooth brush around under there as best I could. Mostly from front side. I will re-visit that once the snow starts flying. And I strip her down for paint work.
Made a decent deal on a clean old stock BMW seat, to replace the giant seat currently installed. Its a solo seat similar to yours. Only without the nifty little fold down back rest yours has.
and Yes, its pretty brown under and behind the throttle bodies. Is that a sign of leaking fuel?
