AIR PANEL REMOVAL FOR AN INSTALL

[Flamewinger]

I used a Stanley tool similar to this to remove the screws under the headlight.


Those headlight screws plus screws under center panel and the mirror mount screws with mount plates all have to come out to get top panels off.

This is what you'll see when you get the panels off. That black wedge shaped thing is the air filter housing.

I needed one of those tools when I installed my missing belt guard. Ill have to look for one.
Is your spyder the one they show on the Corbin site? I ordered that exact setup only mine will match my current cognac color.

I found my tool at Harbor freight but they're available almost any hardware store.

Yes, that is my bike on Corbin's website. Corbin borrows new model bikes to configure their seats and other items they make. Corbin had my bike for over two months and the weather was fantastic.

Well after doing as much research as I can find about doing this I have decided to leave it up to the shop where I bought the bike to do the install on the JTAirfilter Kit. They said they would do it for about 150-200 bucks. I figure yeah it is a chunk of change but with my temper and lack of patience on doing things this is best left to those that know what they are doing. This shop treats me right and always discounts there shop rate for me as I have been a repeat customer for many years. I am going to go drop it off tomorrow and will post back once it is done.

I just spent all day trying to get to the air box to put in a K&N air filter. I finally gave up and put it all back together. What a waist of time but I did learn alot about how its all put together. I never did get those screws out under the headlights. I just let it hang there while I tried to get the air box open. It looks like you have to take the frunk off. I did not want to do that. :banghead:
Ill try doing more research and tackle it again some other time.
Is there any good videos on how its done?

Yeah I have decided not to install the JTAirfilter Kit after all so if somebody wants it I have it up for sale. Will post later in the for sale section. Just too much of a hassle to remove all of that crap. I am having the shop put a K&N airfilter in it and I am going to put a catch can on for the oil.
