Fairing and fuel tank removal for the Honda Africa Twin/CRF1000L. This video does not cover the disconnection of the fuel and vent hoses or electrical connections. www.camel-adv.com
I gotta let you know how much I appreciate this video. Even though you you did this 4 years ago this thing was invaluable to me taking my bike apart and getting it together again. I had a couple of issues with each side of the fairing snapping into place exactly right but it's something that would be hard to explain on camera. It's just one of those things you gotta go through and figure out for yourself. The next time I have the bike apart it will go much smoother. Thanks again! 🙏👍
Thanks for the video. Thumbs up for Camel ADV. A big thumbs down for Honda though... c’mon guys, a service item like the air filter should NOT require this much headache with plastics. I have owned and worked on multiple Ducatis, and for as much as people bizatch about them, the air cooled ones are actually well designed for access for maintenance.
Engineers... Even the Super Tenere which is a complex bike the tank removal is easier. This was suppose to be designed as an easy fix if you understand the bike's purpose
I would also like to know where to get hand guard mounts like that as well... I wonder if they are long enough to mate with the aluminum bars that come with Barkbusters kit?
@@mungo75 Yup, I installed the VPS kit for the Africa Twin. I was looking at it after I commented, and the aluminum bars for the Barkbusters are pretty short, I don't think the handlebar top clamp style brackets would be long enough on their own to reach the ends of the Barkbusters aluminum bars. An extension of some sort would most likely be required.
I think I need to do this to install Garmin Zumo...thread the wires down to the battery. Don't see a way through without removing left fairing. Any suggestions? Or just get on with it?
Great presentation, wish I saw this a few weeks ago, it would have made my project much easier. Can you shed any light on the manufacturer of the tank guards?
Ive done this twice now and what a PITA!! Anyone know of a suitable push rivit replacement? Some of mine have gone missing or just broken. I got some replacements but crappy parts break upon install!
Wow, what a great video. Thanks! Quick question as I don't have the manual handy, is there an air filter on either side or just the one on the left? Thanks
Yeah it's time consuming the first few times but it gets easier and faster. Not use how well it'll hold up over time; lots of fragile plastic tabs, dowels and clips
Exactly! Honda has biased this bike more towards the dirt than it's rivals. Great! But something more robust and durable would've been more appropriate.
Most brands of crash bars fit too close to the bike to be able to get the panels out. On the brands that have enough room to wiggle them out, you're likely to scratch the paint while trying to work around the bars. It's worth the effort to take them off first in my opinion.
WUT?>!!?!?!? You are supposed to press on that little part on the middle of the clips? WTF Honda!?!?!? I have never seen a plastic clip like that - ever. Not Japanese. Not German. Not domestic.
The video was pulled from our fuel tank install footage. The fuel line doesn't need to come off for that install so we didn't have video showing it. The next time we've got the bike torn down we'll record the fuel line removal.
