    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!

    I've seen some monitors with fittings and a hose allowing the gauge to be mounted remotely. They aren't very expensive, about the price of the filter. I'm tempted to try it.

    Crankshaft Position Sensor is done, did that and the air filter today, 9 hours, only because I had to wait for UPS to deliver the parts.

    Here is a link to the write-up I did when I replaced my Camshaft Position Sensor
    http://hondaf6b.com/showthread.php?1...or-Replacement

    The only hard part is accessing/removing the disconnect (red plug), expect full use of vocabulary on this step
