Airbox removal!

(1/1)

Matt_Harrington:
I'm sure there is a technique to remove this over complicated contraption from the frame but for the life of me I can't see how.
I have it loose and both the air filter intake and the carb oval tube are removed as are all (?) bolts.

Anyone got any tips?

(BTW, I wanted to remove it as it is the only rusty part on the bike and I need to get some other bits powder coated. What seemed like a good idea at the time, has now escalated!!

Its almost impossible due to the fixed stud on the airbox near the bottom - but its real easy if you take out the rear wheel & the plastic half of the mudguard, likewise fitting the plastic air intake box from that end is nice and easy too. All depends how far you are stripping down.

Matt_Harrington:
Thanks Ted. I was hoping not to keep dismantling the bike but removing those 2 items to make the job easy is worth it.
Hopefully it won't have to come out again!!

Matt_Harrington:
Ted, Thank you.  It was easier than I thought it would be and with the wheel removed and plastic mudguard out of the way, it was a fairly simple task to remove the box. Fortuitous really as there were a couple of things the PO has done that were a bit 'Heath Robinson'.  :o
It's in fair nick but required a bit of gentle persuasion here and there to get it all neat and ready for coating.
