Moral of the story: dont fiddle with things that work perfectly!
I was a motorcycle mech' in a former life & I lost count of how many times we would return a bike to standard spec to make it run properly.

yes yes
i just spent the last 3 days in the shed fixing the air box in my new toy a 1997 skorpion Traveller
some one had cut the air box in to 2 pieces and added some after market air cleaners
so the battery holder was still in the bike and i got lucky the fellow i got the bike from had the missing half
i will just post a picture to show the ugly details of putting it back in
only race bikes should have mods done I M H O if you want to go fast buy a bigger bike
had to split the bike in half what a pain to get it back stock

i hate mods other than getting rid of fold up foot pegs and handle bars that are to high or low
