1983 GS750E - how to get the airbox out?
Want to move the airbox from the parts bike into the good one (the good one has pods). Is is possible to do that without removing the engine? It doesn't seem so unless I'm missing something. I do hope so otherwise I'm keeping the pods on the runner.1981 GS750L - Owned since 1990 when graduated high school and since have been discovering all the things not disclosed by seller.
1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be niceTags: None

It is possible, but just barely. You will need to unbolt the front and lower motor mounts, and loosen the rear one. This will let the front of the motor tip down a little. You'll also need to remove the carbs, carb boots, and oil lines. I left the cam chain tensioner on, but it would have been better with it off since I nearly broke the airbox in the process. Mine came with pods, and I had a hard time finding an airbox. They are somewhat rare.
Edit: Don't forget the bolt underneath the airboxLast edited by jsandidge; 05-15-2019, 05:47 PM.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9zH8w8Civs8ejBJWjdvYi1LNTg&resourcekey=0-hlJp0Yc4K_VN9g7Jyy4KQg&authuser=fussbucket_1%40msn.com&usp=drive_fs
