Here's what it all looks like if you need something to visualize...
First of all, I moved my intake out of the way in about a minute. then I spent about 10 seconds moving the reservoir. Its that easy. However there were a couple complications.
The hoses have enough memory of their old location to be a bit goofy in their chosen paths. While I would have preferred to use a wire tie or two to bind them together (where did I put them, anyway?), a bungie cord worked in a pinch (I know. Shaddap).
At this point I could get the filter in, but there was STILL some wasted space. There's this little plug affixed to the front framework and if it was just not there, I could make use of a few more inches of room (and we could all use a few more inches, right ladies?).
Removing the plug was simple. It only sits on a little clip. Remove the thing and stuff it down on the corner. Theres plenty of extra wire and no need to tug around on it.
Whats next is Frankentake-specific, since Frankentake sits down low so it can sit face first in the middle of all that cool air. I have extended the filter out on the tube so much that it will sit on the fender. So a little red 3M super-sticky tape in a couple layers provides a permanent, durable cushion and rattle-eliminator. You can see a previous application of the same stuff from a different Frankentake just to the left of the new patch.
The filter's edge sits nicely on the tape cushion; way down low in the breezeway.
And here's the end result: A 12" Frankentake III mk.2 which uses the longer tube designed for the 10" mk.1. Boy that blue hose sure looks crappy now that the blue filter is gone. Cheap $2 fix, fortunately.
How much was gained? See for yourself. Look at the mounting bolt for the stock airbox. Note its position relative to the filter. Thats one hell of a difference; and PLENTY to get the filter fully into the ambient air pocket.
