Default difficult to do?

when i bought my bike(02 f4i)the guy took off the ram air ducts, i have the pieces and was going to put em back on tomorrow if im not tooo hungover after tonight ha. but is it difficult to do? and do they just fit in place or are there any screws that hold them in?
im guessing the fairings will have to come off, but what about the gauge cluster? or headlight?

-side note- i have led flush mounts on their now.. stuck on with double stick tape, but they are starting to droop.. keep flush mounts or put stock ones back on, where people could actually see them haha.

the actual air tubes or just the plastic covers?
if the first you'll need to lift the tank to get to the air box. then it's still a pita getting the rubber back into the air box with the right grooves...if it's the latter, then no.

use sticker stuff for your flush mounts.

its the tubes that run from the "vents" up front right next to the forks. not the whole section (the tubes on there end about 1" infront of the gas tank

No screw required they fit in place. The resonator will hook up to a metal harness hanging off of yourupperstay...Piece of cake. I had to do my left side after a spill and I dont think I removed any of the fairings.One note to make things easier:Put your bike in the sun for a few minutes. Itsmuch easier to install once the rubber tubes expand.

you dont need the stand... granted it's a little harder without it, but not necessary
