where can i get a kit to blank off the secondary air system? its not a legal requirement over here, and the/a previous owner had just dropped a self tapper into the connection at the cylinder head end!

The plug for the cylinder head, is an oil drain plug from an oilhead bike .
Don't have the part number handy .

And for blocking off the holes in the airbox, many have found that the rubber bungs for the timing hole on the engine case work well, so you can get those from your dealers or fine similar types of things at an industrial supply catalog, I think.

A bit of silicone on the timing hole plugs BMW #11-11-1-744-327 keeps things airtight and rattle-free at the airbox.
The part number for the drain plugs is BMW #07-11-9-919-117 You can also leave the adapter in the head and plug it where the pipe connected, but the appearance is not as clean. Sometimes those adapters get frozen in place.
Best you put screws in the carburetor vacuum ports. BMW #13-11-1-259-869 I find that the rubber vacuum caps tend to break down quickly in the presence of gasoline vapors. I use a rubber cap over the screw-plugged carburetor port as a sort of retaining mechanism for the screw, since it keeps it clean and im paranoid about rattling the screw out.
I hope you enjoy removing your right hand carb bowl from now on without that dang air pipe getting in way [smiley=bmw_smiley.gif]
