Pair removal is easy, take all the gubbins out/off, pairs covers off, flip the reeds over (careful not to lose or drop the small screws) then you need a short length of hose the same diameter, cut it into 3 lengths of about 1 1/2 to 2" place them on the pair covers and air box then find some short allen bolts to plug the ends, secure them with a bit of silicone and a zip tie. you'll go from a popping, banging fart machine to just the occasional pop and a flame, much nicer to live with.

Or you could buy block off plates (probably from the us) and only have to blank the airbox.

Virt do what I do, get a plastic A4 sized sheet holder and then write the directions on there and if you want on the back reverse them, and then stick the lot to your tank.

Its cheap and requires little work.
