Enjoy. While you are in there, and if you remember, snap a picture, I'd like to see where the entry point of the air intake is, so I can run my endoscope camera in mine and investigate it's condition. thx

Get a set of the Air Filter Intake Covers to install while the cowl is apart that much, or make your own out of mesh, etc.

Has anyone installed an air filter monitor gauge? It would remove the guesswork. They're inexpensive and common on large trucks.
F6Dave - Unless one buys a monitor that has an electronic switch to tell when it "trips", I suspect it would be difficult to visually check the condition of the monitor, given where the filter is. My old 6.0 Ford had the one with a switch, but would involve making a simple circuit to monitor it.
SpencerPJ - The intake horns go just under the fork shield. I've attached a photo of mine when I had it apart last. The horns are loose, since I had the cover off for the filter, but you can see where they go.
By the way, tax4free...if you've had any codes for the cam sensor or hard to start (spins over but does not fire, whether a code present or not), filter changes are a great time to change that camshaft position sensor, which is somewhat prone to failure on the GL1800s. I had a few of those instances, and replaced mine proactively the last time I did a filter change. Good luck!
