    It would be a "blessing" if "Air Filter Access and Replacement" were improved! Tearing the bike half apart, as is presently the case, is no "walk in the park"

    +1..The air filter and the "major hassle" involved to change it is probably one of the biggest gripes posted by most riders...I have a K&N filter in my 2013 F6B, which I purchased in the winter of that year...Had the bike custom painted before I rode it home late in the year, and as the dealer had it torn apart for painting, I had them put in the K&N..With only 14,000 miles on the bike now I am hopeful it will be a while before I need to service the filter...I might even talk myself into a new bike by then, but so far will stick with my current ride....Regards and ride safe

    If they just used the same screws throughout, it would go faster. I end up looking at one crew to the next wondering which, one I had removed from there. Oh yeah, I took photos! Nope, still can't tell. LOL

    I use a piece of rigid foam sheeting and poke holes with "awl"! The screws/retainers are inserted into the holes as they are removed. This method ensures the correct screws return to the correct holes! Had some pic posted on a "Original Thread/Post" but they are long gone!
