own an '06 gl1800. just turned the magic 16k. time for the air filter change. looked at a few online videos on doing this myself. am somewhat mechanically inclined but also a tad intimidated. did a complete radio install on an '04 wing. long process but not real hard. havent asked my dealer the cost yet. any suggestions???

Changed my air filter out at 16,000 on my 05 and it was not even dirty. I'm still trying to figure out if it really filters anything.

I did mine at 10 grand (because I had the top shelter and seat off for a CB install). It wasn't very dirty. Recommend you have a service manual. It's intimidating, because it looks like you have destroyed you ride by the time you get to the filter, but it's not too difficult. Recommend a set of T-handled Allen's. First time will take you awhile, but after that you know how to do it and its pretty easy.

Gl800 Air Filter Change

Read this from Steve Saunders website, biker's workshop section.
There is a link to a tutorial video at the bottom of the page.

What I have found in most cases.......Unless you are in extremely dusty dirty conditions.... I believe you can wait until 25,000 miles. I did at 28k and it was still OK. Changed anyway. But then there is also the mouse nest issue if stored for long peroids of time! Once you have tackeled it, the project is not difficult, and can be done within an hour or two depending on experience.

Hi Tom. If you did a radio swap then you already know how to remove the shelter, and that's the hard part.
