GS450 Airbox installation

[tthayer]

I get the feeling that the airbox wasn't meant to be installed without having removed the motor first. I got it in there after about an hour of puzzling it over. I ended up disconnecting some of the left-hand electricals to get clearance for the box to come around through the frame on that side, but it was a ridiculous song and dance.

Does anyone have some pointers for next time?

if your talking about the air filter box yes take off the rubber intake snorkels at the back to make room so you can just pull it out the top you can also drop the rear fender if you still need more room but i have never needed to do that.

My airbox lacks the snorkels, but I think you're on to something with the fender.

pull the carbs off and it comes out the clutch side of the frame

I couldn't work it clear of the clutch cable when I went that route. I ended up putting it in the clutch side after dropping the brace that holds the electronics up.
