As others have said on here --- fit all fasteners loosely until happy it all lines up and then tighten all up evenly in turn. Silicone sealant in joint between can and link pipe, no need between link pipe and front pipe, but do this up tightly --- turning force is applied when centre stand flies up when you take bike off centre stand. I found on mine that the centre stand only just caught the extension on the Fuel link pipe so I made a little extension forwards from some stout alloy to be sure centre stand didn`t make love to the chain!!
I also made up a loop of perforated patent band and secured this to the front clamp bolt with another suitable stainless nut --- this loop then secures the breathers in place.
Having taken care over fitting the Fuel system, I find it follows the line of the bike nicely --- doesn`t jut out as did the original.
