I removed the front mounting bolt for the air box and then turned the steering fully to the left, the air box lifted slightly as the loom was pushed back into the frame, while in this position I checked the rubber inlets on the fuel injector bodies and they were good, so I put a small spacer under the front of the air box (8mm) and fitted the bolt back, now the steering moves much more freely, I wish every problem could be sorted in such an easy way,
the footrest hangers were a bit scruffy in places and I contemplated removing them to give them a full polish up, but remembering how condensation builds on my bike surfaces at times over winter I knew that they'd grow a full coating of white fur quite quickly, so I opted to just use autosol and a cloth to tidy them up to an even but dull shine, looking nice and ease of future cleaning is good for me now,
I used new exhaust gaskets and fitted the downpipes back on the bike, however now it is starting to look too nice to want to start the engine and risk ruining it all, best try and sort out those end cans soon !
