4. Removed and cleaned K&N air filters
5. Cleaned Jardine pipes

Note 2: As per the notes in the OEM parts catalogue descriptions for the two spacers for the lifter piece, neither are needed for the 3rd iteration part number T1172023 above.
Hermy agreed but Please let me know if these washers or anything else is needed - TIA!
When we were shopping we found an alternative cage for me to drive should my Rocket riding privileges be rescinded if I can’t learn to utilize its full potential:
Love Machine with purple shag carpeting - yeah baby!
I'm thinking an even trade would seal the deal!
[/QUO you only need to use the wave washer with the new style lifter piece.
