400F Rebuild - Loom or air-filter box first?

[Lobo]

Ladies / Gents,

Can anyone advise which to install first in my rebuild - ie main loom or the air-filter box? I recall, when dismantling it all, everything bloody tight....and want to minimise the stress!

Whoever came up with the idea of installing the engine into the frame by laying the bike on its RHS - top marks! I simply, and gently lowered the frame over the engine & inserted a few bolts - no scratches, and the job done 'solo' - easily.

Cheers,
Lobo

From memory all the Hondas are loom first but don't quote me on that

you can put engine into bike when its on its stand just take sump off and the little bracket that goes under the air box whitch is the top rear engine bracket slide engine in from the offside of the bike you can do it with the top breather cover on or off
