?Stock Airbox With Boss Intake?

[bansh_88]

I have just finished installing a Boss aluminum intake and am wondering if I can use the stock air-box with it. In order to use my new Keihin 33 mm carbs, I needed a larger intake and went with this Boss unit being that I have heard a lot of great feedback on them. The problem that I am having right now is that with the intake installed, it seems that there is barely any space between it and the boots attached to my air-box. The boots I am using on my stock air-box are a set of 33-35mm boots (Upp brand I believe) and if I remember correctly, they are about the same length as the stock boots. So now with the space being so small, I am not so sure as to how I am going to get my carbs between the air-box and the intake!

 

 

So my question is, with a Boss intake installed, is anyone using their stock air-box? If so, how did you get the carbs to fit between it and the Boss intake? Were you able to force the carbs in between them somehow, or did you have to mod something? I am hoping that I can keep my stock air-box in place, but if not then thats fine. Just wondering how everyone else with a Boss intake has it all setup and if they were able to keep the stock air-box in place. Any feedback/advise/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. THANKS!!!
