    Gen III Side Panel Removal with Charcoal Canister

    Fuke me!  These California model FJRs with the charcoal cannister on Gen III+ are a major ass-pain. Removing the right side fairing panel was a major PITA because of the charcoal canister puzzle. Does anybody have a secret trick that I couldn't figure out?
