In this modification, you're making the airbox and battery box into two different parts, so you can pull the battery box out by itself. This gives you more room to move the airbox around and get at the carbs to remove and reinstall them. This is usually better than messing around with [[Aftermarket air filters and pods|pod filters]], and will result in a quieter and closer to stock bike. This also makes carb removal faster by eliminating the chore of removing all of the inner fender bolts to move the fender out of the way. | In this modification, you're making the airbox and battery box into two different parts, so you can pull the battery box out by itself.

Some people don't have any trouble getting the carbs out in stock configuration. If this is true for you, there's no use wasting your time with this mod. | |||
This is how much room you have between the airbox and carburetors once the battery box is removed and the airbox is slid toward the back of the bike. | This is how much room you have between the airbox and carburetors once the battery box is removed and the airbox is slid toward the back of the bike. | ||
