Thank you so much for your assistance drneo66. The video shows me I need to take off not only the top panel, but the top left side and left side as well. Yes eydo, this is the reason I came here to the BMW MOA, for assistance finding such a video. Are you inferring I am wrong for coming here to seek assistance?
No worries Illya, it seems that there is some K&N hate here on the forum. Other than that brand of filter hate, the gang here is pretty good at helping out.
Not much fun to do an air filter change on my F800GS either.
Good luck.

They say you need to remove the side panels, but you don't. Just take off the top panel and you'll see the airbox cover, remove the four screws and it will come out by gently spreading the side panels. I've done it many times on my former F800GS and on my wife's ST.
No worries, glad to help. Maybe eydo didn't see my video??
The last couple of times that I changed my air filter, I took off the other plastic pieces to rinse out the snorkel (amazing how much dust can accumulate in their) as it only take a couple more minutes to undo the other couple screws.
