83 KZ1100 shaft new to me carb removal

I just picked up this KZ1100 (LTD?) been sitting only a year but only running on 2 3 and 4. Going to pull the carbs and see what I have. Just wondered if there are any tips or tricks to removing the carbs with OEM air box?

Looks like I can just push the boots into the air box and there is plenty of room to remove the carbs. Boots are still pretty flexible and soft.
Don't fix it until it's broken.

There are a couple little "L" shaped brackets near the rear of the air box. If you remove them you will gain a little extra room to move the air box toward the rear. Ed
