Is indeed very different and you should be able to download the official manual here that I posted ages ago

The top brace that passes through the airbox is in fact a heated "towel rail" and is part of the plumbing system.
I have a box of plumbing bits somewhere if you are missing anything.
Hope the manual helps with the puzzle, somewhere close to the manual above you will find a second one which is the racing suppliment to the above with faster faster tuning information and fitting of the additional "kit" parts in the spares box sold with kits.
