There's a mesh filter in the fuel tank and a duckbill filter in the T where the fuel line connects into the carbs.
I've added a small filter into the fuel line that I use as an indicator more than anything else -- if there's junk in it, I'm in trouble!
There's a pic in my album under 'Carbs, Intake and Fuel System' so use the clicky below to take a look.

Also, I have never seen a bike with an air filter that is so difficult to replace. Do carbs have to be moved to replace air filter? Routine maintenance looks like it will be a little challenging.

Yep. It's a PITA and you do have to remove the carbs to get the filter out.
Remove the tank, remove the side covers, remove the left side airbox, remove the plastic trim strip that's attached to the coils, loosen the clamps on both sides of the carbs, pull the carbs and filter box back as an assembly, push the carbs off the filter box, slide the carbs out the left side, push the filter box forward and remove it.
Simple, huh?
It's pretty straightforward after you've done it a couple of times and gotten the hose clamp screws unstuck.
