boilerdude Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 This is dumb I know but seriously how does the airbox come out of a slabby 1100. It's like the whole bike is built around the fuckin thing. Quote
Ben Slabby Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 With great difficulty, apparently. Some say taking out the alternator helps. Quote
Leblowski Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 I tried a few months ago, decided to hacksaw the bloody thing. They say it can only be done if you take out the whole engine Quote
mick-ne Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 That's why theyre getting harder to find everyone has to smash them out lol 1 Quote
Swiss Toni Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Tried to get mine out (750). Removed everything in the way. Still no good! Motor was coming out anyway, so not a major hurdle. However, I've heard if you give the box a good hard twist whilst removing or fitting, and it'll come out/go in! Quote
Captain Chaos Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 leave it outside in the sun for a few hours, the plastic becomes softer. That is you need sunshine for that. So it's not working in the UK probably. 4 Quote
jb Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 did one the other day and can confirm it has to be twisted around to come out (no need to remove alty).....still bloody tight though, must have needed more sunshine Quote
boilerdude Posted May 29, 2016 Author Posted May 29, 2016 Fuck it. I'm just gonna stuff the carbs back in there and keep the airbox. 1 Quote
p4ddy Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 yep, lube, heat and twist HARD. When I built my slabby I had to fit it that way as I only found out after I should have fit it before the engine. Anyhow it went in easy enough. Quote
