The seat bolts down to the subframe, there is a red colored washer that protects the seat cover I believe.

OK then I guess the plastic parts are connected to the headlight. I thought the seat was just a bolt on item. Thanks for the reply.

Help!!
OK, new question for any body that has performed the transformation. What to do with the air cleaner? My kit came with air cleaner cage and springy thingy retainer. I assumed I was to reuse the boot and two metal pieces which clamp together but they don't seem at all compatable, that is; the new cage has three post which do not align with anything from the 2005. BTW got the transformation kit from greenland racing out of spain.

Did you recieve a new airbox with your kit? The cage with the three posts is for the new style air cleaner and box.

responded to your pm and yes it did come with airbox but no boot. I assumed I was to reuse old one but the metal part that connects the boot to the box is not right and there are no provisions for the three plastic prongs that came with the new filter cage. I see you have a 2012 and a 97. I think the 97 can be updated with a relocation of the coil and a new gas tank. Might want to do some home work on that one though.

When I did mine using the same kit I used the metal plate from the old airbox and drilled holes through the new one so I could bolt it up tight. A bit of a bugger to mark up the holes but just take you time and then enjoy the fiddly job of getting the nuts on the threads!
Like you I couldn't work out how to use the red bar and spring so I'm just using the old bolt through method -works absolutely fine. |

OK, got every thing to work. Had to fabricate a metal adapter. It mimicks the retaining ring on the out-side of the box/boot junction for the OD and mimicks the filter cage regarding the ID. Drilled three holes which line up with 3 prongs on the cage and was able to use the spring loaded retaining device. Could'nt let a cool red anodized part go to that one drawer in the tool box, you know the parts graveyard from bikes gone past. There is something missing in the kit, however if you look at the parts diagram the only thing that stands out is a restrictor plate with 3 slots for the prongs on the filter cage. If you know someone with a newer bike you could look at.........
