Couple questions..

How do you get this retainer open?

This part, where the hard line and the rubber line connect, is in rough shape from road salt (previous owner was in Georgia). Do I need to try to clean this up or is the new line kit going to replace all this?

That line gets replaced.
You have to unbolt the fender or remove the wheel to get the plastic clip out, that is holding the brake line over the fender.
Then you can access the bottom of that push clip, squeeze it together, and it pops right out.

Unfortunately the tank is pretty much full. No biggie, I'll siphon it down.

I'll check the manual for removal process.

Thanks!

How much gas in the tank only effects the weight, otherwise it's irrelevant when removing the tank.

Why are there two holes on each side of the tank skirt that seem to correspond to nothing? Is the tank used on another application?

As far as I know they were used in the assembly process.

Radiator and oil cooler guards/screens are always a good idea too.

Seems like they would have a more compact, everything together, solution.

I've dealt with them (where I got my tank) they are a good company.

OK, I found one. Also removed the oil cooler guard and painted it.

Small hands have a few benifits, as well as years of aircraft maintenance where's there's never enough room. I was able to get it off.

I just hate waiting for international shipping, not to mention shipping costs.

Don't we all...then we could wring his neck...

I would coerce the engineer to finger the finance guy who directed how things were done. Then we could, appropriately, strangle the finance guy.

I came across an old thread that indicates that I'm going to need to remove the air box. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I'd love to punch the guy who decided to put the front bleeders on the inside.
