2005 to 2011 transformation questions
Hi all, been lurking for a while and have a 2005 EC 300 which I purchased the transformation kit for to take it to 2011.
Have read the other transformation threads which has provided some very useful information, particularly on the air box side of things which having read the other threads was actually pretty straight forwards. So, here is a picture showing where I am up to: And on to my questions, some of which I am sure are silly, but hey might as well ask: 1. My CDI sat under the tank in a recess in the old airbox - I assume you just move it into the new airbox, but where does it sit and how did you secure it? 2. The mud flap that protects the shock absorber attached to the old airbox by two 6mm bolts (with recessed nuts on the airbox), looking at the new airbox there are just two holes drilled in the plastic - do you just use self tapping screws to secure it? 3. My side stand hits the undertray which can't be normal - any suggestions on how to resolve? 4. The airbox just presses together and is held in place by the subframe - do you seal the joints with anything or just rely on the press fit to keep the worst of the mud/water out? 5. The rear LED brake light has a short lead and connector fitted - is it a special/gas gas connector or a standard one that a car shop would sell? Or do you just chop it off and solder to the existing wiring? I am sure there will be more, but having got the airbox/boot sorted I feel like I am making good progress. Cheers. |

We're at different stages of our kit installs but this is what I've found so far.
Make sure the subframe/tail is centered over the rear wheel. The hole location was off on mine at the right top strut that mounts by the tank. If forced into position it made the subframe crooked Obstacles so far with my 2000 EC250 (not done yet) *Hole location off on one subframe strut (top right) *2000 or 2011 FMF TC2 silencer won't fit correct *Shrouds needed sanding/fitting on the inside to mount to the tank decent *seat fits very very snug to back bone of the fuel tank Could your side stand just be bent/tweaked out a bit to clear? Good luck with the project! Noah

Hi Noah,
I've got the FMF TurbineCore 2 for a 2007 and the mounts will line up but I can't get it to slip over the end of the header, strange as the FMF I've taken off fitted over just fine. Not sure what to do with this... There seems to be a lack of fixing points to attach the under tray to the subframe. Need to take another look to see if I've missed anything. |

The diameter of the pipe from older bikes is larger than the diameter of the newer I believe 07 and newer run. Forgot about that fact.

On the 2011, there are two screws that go into the frame from the outside. They attach the plastic CDI holder to the frame.

View from the inside of the "airbox". The bottom of that CDI holder is screwed down to the airbox. A rubber strap anchors the CDI unit to the holder.
