I gotta let you know how much I appreciate this video. Even though you you did this 4 years ago this thing was invaluable to me taking my bike apart and getting it together again. I had a couple of issues with each side of the fairing snapping into place exactly right but it's something that would be hard to explain on camera. It's just one of those things you gotta go through and figure out for yourself. The next time I have the bike apart it will go much smoother. Thanks again! 🙏👍

A great help....many thanks as it made my AF tank removal/air filter access a lot easier .Saved me a lot of guessing time.

Brilliant clear video, many thanks for taking the time.

Thanks for making this video. The Service manual may as well be in Japanese. Looking forward to installing your high fender mod.

Thank you. It helped me a lot! Keep doing it!

Thanks for the video. Thumbs up for Camel ADV. A big thumbs down for Honda though... c’mon guys, a service item like the air filter should NOT require this much headache with plastics. I have owned and worked on multiple Ducatis, and for as much as people bizatch about them, the air cooled ones are actually well designed for access for maintenance.

Have done this a dozen times and each time - watch this video.

thanks for the video, i appreciate it.

Thanks, no service only hands! I got it

That just saved me a lot of frustration and broken plastic. Thanks a lot. When is a turbo kit going to be available for these creatures? :)

Great presentation, wish I saw this a few weeks ago, it would have made my project much easier. Can you shed any light on the manufacturer of the tank guards?

Tank guards? I assume you mean the foam rubber? Bulk pieces of TechSpec. I believe they a have pre-cut AT kit.

What are the barkbuster frame extensions that run to the handlebar clamp?

Mate how hard is it to remove the fairing stay? Noticed mines is slightly bent and I want to remove it to try and straighten it

can we install africa twin original side bags after installing this additional fuel tank?

@@mungo75 Yup, I installed the VPS kit for the Africa Twin. I was looking at it after I commented, and the aluminum bars for the Barkbusters are pretty short, I don't think the handlebar top clamp style brackets would be long enough on their own to reach the ends of the Barkbusters aluminum bars. An extension of some sort would most likely be required.

Preparing to do my first valve adjustment. Any mine fields I should be aware of after removing the tank?

Just go slow with the panel removal as there are several small clips that can easily be broken if forced.

You might be able to do it by simply removing the black plastic trim panel below the left side of the tank.

@CamelADV

Most brands of crash bars fit too close to the bike to be able to get the panels out. On the brands that have enough room to wiggle them out, you're likely to scratch the paint while trying to work around the bars. It's worth the effort to take them off first in my opinion.

Exactly! Honda has biased this bike more towards the dirt than it's rivals. Great! But something more robust and durable would've been more appropriate.

The video was pulled from our fuel tank install footage. The fuel line doesn't need to come off for that install so we didn't have video showing it. The next time we've got the bike torn down we'll record the fuel line removal.

Yeah, it's pretty convoluted process! However, other than air filter maintenance, the front end shouldn't need to be a part very often.
