Whats the general consensus on doing a TBS after installing the cover plates. I'm sure people would say you might as well while you are there, but I have never done a TBS and would need to buy a sync tool. Plus, I just had my mechanic do one 500 miles ago. If it needs to be done then I will do it but just wanted to check.

 
If you trust your mechanic then you should be good to go. I would wait until the next interval comes up and plan on doing it then. Nothing should have changed at this point. When was the last time you changed the plugs? Plenty of room to do that now since everything is out of the way.

PayPal sent! Very much appreciate the engineering and effort into the products David!

It's time for a set of these while the engine is out and I'm cleaning stuff up!

More progress made on the Winter Project 07 FJR today! Stay tuned for an update this week.

Thanks for doing these.

For the price, it isn't worth my time to machine them up myself.

 
I received your order and they will ship out tomorrow. Now don't make me raise my prices.

No, I think you are spot on. Any higher I would have torn the bike down prior and taken them into work to do a "government job". For $50, You are in that window where it isn't worth it for me to spend my time dimensioning, programming, and tooling up for a one off set.

IMHO that says a lot, since I don't pay retail for anything I don't have to and make what ever I can. If I think your price is good, people who don't have the abilities/resources shouldn't think twice.

Not to mention I'd rather have a plate/s than a rubber cap that I would suspect to dry rot and crack in a year or so, likely at a time or place that is inconvenient.

 
You still need something to cap off the airbox with...might be just such a rubber cap.

Not so, the existing plumbing has a hose with an aluminum plug in it. Some folks have used it to block the air box. You can get all fancy and by a little air filter like it did though.

More air is good.

I'd advocate either using one of the short hoses and the plug that you take off, or buying / fabricating a plug for that vacated air box nipple. That inlet is on the clean side of the airbox. Anything that leaks past a small breather is going to go right into the intake and be ingested by the engine. I found a rubber plug in my junk drawer that fit the hole perfectly and used some (O2 sensor safe) silicone sealant to glue it in place permanently.

Expanding silicon test plug.

I have found they are more reliable than rubber caps in uses like this where they can be used. The silicon stands up to a wider range of temps, chemicals(oils/fuels) and being a expanding plug in a hole/tube there is less surface are being exposed to air slowing degradation.

That or plastic weld a plastic filler disc over the opening as a cap. Permanent, but If, one wants to return stock you can simply trim the disc/cap off leaving 95% of the original nipple intact.

Any pics of various caps and sources for same?
I think he's talking about the caps for the airbox. I found these for a few bux at the local O'Reilly Auto Parts store. One of those is a perfect fit for the airbox hole. I still used the stock clip on it to hold it in place though.
