Instead of trying to slip the stock bar through two air filter elements, cases and side covers, try attaching side cover mounting bolts to the air filter elements. Procedure: 1.At the work bench, fit the air filter case to the air filter element. The case should snap-fit tightly to the element if aligned properly. 2.Run a 1 �? long 6mm 1.00 bolt through the large hole at the back of the filter element and through the attached case. You?ll need a needle nose pliers to guide the bolt through the holes. 3.Fasten a nut to the bolt to keep the case tight against the filter element. You now have a mounting bolt for side cover attachment. 4.Bolt the filter element (now with attached case) to the frame as you normally do. 5.Fit the side cover over the case and the bolt will slip through the side cover grommet. 6.Thread the finish nut onto the new mounting bolt.
