    Exciting air box picture

    PXL_20210830_213028339.jpg
    So I've been continuing work on the 83. Previous owner had cut the air box in half trying to get it out and failed. Since I don't feel like pulling
    the motor, I decided to glue it back together. I used JB Weld plastic epoxy and cut some spare pieces out of some scrap fairings I have
    to make bridging tabs to cross the joint. It seems to have worked. So far it feels strong. We'll see what happens when I try to install
    the carbs. Wish me luck.

          Frankenstein's neck, cool. I recently repaired ABS fork cover on my GS1000 with shreds from drilling through a hunk of leftover pipe and mixing with acetone. Worked great and cost next to nothing. I am not sure it'd work on the air box material though. Anyway you have it covered except those two bolts on the side....

                Is rear suspension dropped?
                This is the means to manipulate the airbox on mine
                Full floater??

                  The rear suspension isn't really in the way. I removed the battery box so the limiting factor is the frame.
