Hey Airboss;
I live in Big Bear and occasionally get down to the Victor Valley. There are three or four of us with 06 790's or 865's in Big Bear, although I think I'm the only one who's pulled the airbox. It was a two-day project for me, because I'm slow and have to read everything two or three times before I'm comfortable diving in, and also because I tend to clean the ***** out of everything I take off the bike.
I'd suggest you have the following items on hand before you get started (based on my experience a couple weeks ago).
1. NARK
2. Pipes
3. Main Jets (stock is 110 - I went with 130's but I'm not done experimenting there yet). I'd suggest 120's, 125's, 130's, and 135's, but I'm not sure what'll be right for you at 3000 feet.
4. Pilot Jets (I think mostly for fine tuning). I never installed the 42's or the thrux needles I picked up
5. Carb screw replacement kit (newbonneville.com) - I'd have been screwed without them.
6. Needlenose vise grips (see item 5) - for when you strip the inside screw (made of plumber's putty, I think). 3mm hex wrench run's the replacements back in correctly.
7. Jenk's Bolts Tuning Notes (available online from Jenks as a free download)
Assume you've got a jack, and reasonable array of tools (24 mm and 19 mm box wrenches for the rear wheel pull, torque wrench, etc)?
I'm pretty limited on time, but give me enough notice and I'll try to set aside a couple hours on a weekend for the reassembly. Also, I make no promises on tuning - I just replaced my mains and off I went, still getting around 50 mpg.

BTW - the AI takes about 20 minutes to pull, and you can do that way ahead of time - very simple.
