M2 style box install

hades · 01-30-2011, 04:39 PM

I have an M2 style box that I am trying to install. Its being a major pain in the ass. I am having trouble getting it around a Fluidyne radiator, headlights, and frame. It may be that I am a bit buzzed from beer, but this thing is pissing me off.

Any of you have similar issues?

I have repaired the attemped repair of many motorcycles that were in need of repair because the first repairer was inpaired.People that work on cars and motorcycles for beer while doing the work are the ones who make me the most money . My Mazda comp alum rad had a plate to block the air flow between it and the frame that had to be cut out before the M2 air box went in . I drilled a hole in the side of the airbox for the bolt that attaches to the headlight retracter to go through .I removed the bolt put in the box and replaced the bolt .That moved the box closer to the finder the thickness of the bolt head.A small distance but it was needed to clear the M2 innercooler .

I am pretty good about stopping if I can't figure it out. Its a toy car-I walk away if it makes me mad.
