Better than using the airbox holes/handles, I bet.

Not sure what size the bolts are exactly but their website shows that they supply M6 and M8 bolts. Either way they are plenty strong enough for lifting the rear of the bike.

Mines an 08 with '12 front plastics, haven't found the need to update sides or rear yet

Martin-EC300 Your radiator shrouds are pointing the wrong direction mate. The white shrouds in front of the radiators should be pointing out from the middle of the frame for max air flow. You could overheat your steed... Nice EC300 by the way.

I already posted these on my own thread, but what the hell... I'm pretty stoked about how it turned out!
2014 with a 2017 kit installed. came with everything except the steel clips that join the 2 halves of the rad shrouds. I did not install the open hand guards or the swing arm decals, I think it looks better black.

I need your help with trannsformation kit. I would like to assemble it well so I have some questions about air box.
Below the air box 2005

So I noted that in 2011, no part of the number 3 and 6 (form 2005 manual), this metal pieces.

How exactly is it assembled in 2011?
Should I install these old metal parts from 2005 and drill holes?

I will be grateful help or some photo of air box

I installed the air filter according to the 2011 diagram.
I'm not convinced of the tightness of this solution. How is it done in the original? Is air filter rubber sealed with silicone?
I still have the impression that this older solution was stronger and certainly tighter.



Can any of you tell me how it is factory-assembled?

That looks just like the way the filter on my 2011 looks. If the pins in the cage are not lined up with the opening, the spring loaded holder won't fit. It is very solid. I make sure that I have a clean surface and then I try to rotate the filter and feel around it to make sure it is sealed against the air boot.
