I just purchased a Moose spacer from Monkey Butt. Any tips on how to install it? Let me known.

Seeing as how I just did this, I thought I might tell you how it went for me....which is to say easy as pie!
First, just to clear the area, I removed the subframe so the airbox and all the other clutter is gonzo.
Then I pulled the carb from the boot and swung it out of the way. I recommend draining the fuel from the floats intentionally so that you avoid the mess of it draining itself later.
I unbolted the carb boot and reed cage from the back of the jug (cylinder).
In my case, I figured because I would be in there, I may as well install a new set of reeds. If you are just adding the spacer, simply place it between the jug and the reed cage. Be sure to use the fresh gaskets that come with the spacer. No sealer required.
Slap the carb boot back over the reed cage and bolt it all back up to the jug. Reinstall the carb into the boot.
At this point, kick the bike over to make sure everything is good mechanically. If it is, reinstall the subframe and you are done.
Side note: because of the reed spacer, the mouth of the carb will be closer to the frame tube than before, but there is sufficient space to get the airbox boot back in place.
Hope this helps.
