1100 evo Lambda sensor post-Rexxer question

A little update: Today at lunchtime I managed to get the forward lambda sensor out (ordinary 22mm spanner) without taking off the front section of the exhaust. I managed to get the spanner onto the nut by going in underneath the bike, and there's plenty of room for the sensor to unscrew out of the exhaust pipe. Result.

Once the sensor was unscrewed from the exhaust there was enough wire available to find a route out of the frame for the connector plug, with a little trial and error. Phew!

Exhaust plugs in (M18 x 1.5 with a little copper crush washer and an internal hex head), plus blanking plugs for the loom end of the sensor wires (thanks for the info on that one Luddite sir). Rear sensor wire and connector is cable tied up out of the way of the exhaust to prevent meltage.

So that's my first bit of 'modding' done on the evo! It wasn't too scary (well, perhaps a little bit!). Now it's just a question of riding the thing...
