Yes, the stock airhorn is left intact.

OOOPS!! wrong pic. thats what i chenged in the old airbox tray. i run a K&N filter right off the throttle body with the velocity stack inside the filter. it fits under the stock plastic and all i had to modify was my key switch plate (bent it up a teenie bit). i cant find a pic on my computer of it, so i'll have to go take one either tonight or in the morning. if anyone is interested in this setup, let me know i can give some part numbers:)

is there a reason why people move the fuel pump or is it just looks?

I've moved my fuelpump to a suspended position under the electronics tray between regulator and steering stem -- area still well ventilated and not getting direct heat from radiator, and larger/easy access fuel filter is then possible -- you can then move starter solenoid to the old fuelpump frame lugs, and free up access to battery or enable larger (taller) battery -- lots of side-benefits to the relocation, but usually requires ditching the up- front foam filter.

not a problem demon!!

i moved the fuel pump to get it out from behind the hot radiator so it runs cooler. (thats a dumb idea on cannondales part). i also moved my pressure regulator just to kind of keep it cleaner and get it out of the way since once its on you dont ever do anything with it. i put a quadtech hood on as well so when in racing i can get cool air to go across the coomputer, fuel pump, regulator, and right up to the air filter. thanks!

ill go get a pic of it now:head:

Does any of the lines for the electronics or fuel injection have to be extended to moves the parts?

Yes, some swapping and short extensions of fuel line is needed for the suspended fuel pump, but I have some stock of the OEM fuel line for that... as for electrical in my case, nothing is cut or extended... If interested, I could do a complete pre-assembly for you... just PM for more pics or details.
