Ok one question,does anyone have a fix for getting the air box back in?

I used a ratchet strap.

 Tie each pair of tubes together. Front two,middle two and rear two. Drop it through the frame rails. Reach in and cut the string. Tubes will pop outward. Push them down onto the carbs and tighten the clamps. Make sure to check the rear of the tubes with a small mirror. You don't want to fold over the tubes. Will cause a vacuum leak. Hope this helps...

Patience grasshopper

Yep, thats all I've used, patience. It came out, it'll go back in. As with most things mechanical, they come apart easier than they go back together.

       Ever attempt to put the pup tent back in the container it arrived in?  Old trick I used Frequently working on Navy aircraft. Gits too frustrating walk away have a cup of coffee and a smoke. I do NOT smoke anymore but ya git the drift. Some times just gittin yer head right helps. Has ya changed an altenator yet?  RIDE SAFE.

Others have described it as trying to put an octopus in a straight jacket.

Or a cat in a bathtub full of water. 
Which reminds me...years ago my daughter #2, jr. high age, had a run-in with my sister's Siamese. It hissed at her from a shelf in the laundry room and wouldn't let her get the vacuum cleaner. She tried to pick up the metal tubes for it and the cat struck at her, giving her a couple scratches. She banged the cat a couple times with the tubes then grabbed it by the neck and threw it in the dryer, slamed the door shut and put it on fluff with no heat for a couple minutes. Cat never bothered her again! Became a family joke later after she was married, her older sister told her new hubby the cat story and suggested he remember it. He said he wouldn't fit in the dryer, the sister simply said "don't bet on it when Tari's pissed."
