I know it is not the same bike but in their wisdom the designers of the Pan America put the airbox right up under the fuel tank. You have to take the tank off to get to the air filter. Not an issue for the most part but after a few days riding in the desert sand my mates had cleaned their filters on their BMWs and were on their second beer while I was still taking my tank off. I have learned to plan my filter cleans to be done before getting into town for fuel. Although it has a quick connect fitting on the fuel line there is still a bit of messing around to get the tank off. And if it is full, Oh well I will just clean the filter tomorrow night when the tank is lighter.

Still waiting on some pics and a bike review ww.
