Or buy a set of 1999-2007 hayabusa blockoff plates on eBay for $25 (you get 4) and sell the 2 extra on here for $15. Net cost to you is $10 and it will be reversible.

Part of the satisfaction of removing the PAIR system is getting rid of all the extra tubes and hoses.

I would love to delete the pair. Maybe a set of carb's from the pre pair gs might work. That's what I've been looking into. Will let you know if I go through with it.

Darkstar,

I just picked up an 04 GS500F with a bad engine. I bought an 08 engine off eBay and it turns out it had more tubing and such hanging off it than mine. I was planning to ask a question here as to whether I could remove them because it looks to be part of an EGR system. What was the first post I saw? Yours about deleting the PAIR system. Good thing I checked here. I will be doing something similar to mine.

Hey Bluesmudge,

Where did you find a set for $25. All I find is a $35 set on eBay. Will you please post a link?

Great. One thing I didn't show here was gasket. I had copper high temp RTV, but decided to try high temp paper. Seemed to work well.
