RE: Front shock replacement on R1150R.

["Minor, Bob" <Bminor@xxxxxxxx>]

Many folks have simply removed the canister all together.  Instructions
can be found on the IBMWR site.

Marc and Martin:

Thanks for the information on the routing of the vent hoses.  I could
not find and "xxxxxxxx" on either hose, but since one spit raw gas when
I remounted the tank, I am guessing that one goes to the charcoal
canister.  I guess the worst that could happen is that I will have wet
charcoal and global warming will arrive quicker.

BTW, the Wilbers front shock makes my 02 with 24K miles ride like a new
bike, maybe better than new. The OEM shock must have been really sacked.
The rear still seems OK but I may replace it just to see if there is an
improvement.

Thanks,
