Today I installed the British Customs Airbox Removal Kit (A.R.K.) on my 2008 Triumph Bonneville. It basically required a full day. You should plan ahead and allow plenty of time to do this modification.
First I jacked up my Bonneville on a motorcycle jack and secured it with straps. I stripped it down by removing the seat, gas tank, exhaust pipes, rear brake and tire, side covers, and front chain cover.

My battery left a space about and inch and a half in front of the battery, which turned out to be a perfect place to store my Mosfet Rectifier/Regulator that I had purchased previously from RoadsterCycle.com. The OEM battery strap held everything snuggly in place.
Finally I had the carbs back together, and mounted the brace that comes with the kit. After replacing everything else that was still not attached, and the K&N filters and crankcase filter (which was missing the hose clamp described in the instructions) I started it up (and it did fire up!).
It was running rougher that normal, so I decided to get out the BC 2 Carb Synchronization kit I had also purchased. Following instructions I warmed up the engine and then attached the synchro gauges and hoses. They fluctuated so wildly while the engine was idling I could not use them for any kind of adjustments. So, after sending an email about this to BC, I was forced to abandon this final step as well.
I then took the bike for a test spin. I was underwhelmed with the initial experience. It did not feel any different than the way the bike was before. I will wait to see what can be done about the idle mixture screws and the carb synchronizer before I make a final judgement.
Hi, sorry to bother you, but I am in the process of doing the airbox removal kit at this very moment. However it also came with the two bolts to plug the air injection. (Furthermore it came with no directions so I am a little lost about the whole air injection removal process? Do I remove the whole factory apparatus? Your posts were awesome, and I am sure that you did this process, so any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for the reply. I just wanted to say that I have been reading your website for a few weeks now, and have greatly appreciated all of your hard work and advice which you have shared. It had made the task of getting a little more performance out of my bonnie realistic, and something I can do on my own.
Anyway, I purchased the Performance kit from TPUSA. I have to admit, I was also a little disappointed as when the kit (Air Box removal, Dominator Torque pipes, AI Removal, Jet Kit) arrived, it was missing the 42 Pilot jets. It took a phone call to inquire to find out that they were on back order. No note inside saying as much or anything!
The Air Injection Removal I received only came with 2-Bolts and 2 crush washers. so I was kinda like??? I will go ahead and remove the whole apparatus today, and insert the bolds into the head, and call it a day I guess. 152ee80cbc
