yes as it currently sits i can remove the airbox, but i have to remove the carbs to do so.
Primer wrote: Could you add to the existing mold (which could understandably cause some grief) and have it so the side panel bridged the forward down tube and tied into the airbox? It would remove as usual, so the box would be center, right, left. It could have some screen (V-Max intake style, but, you know, usable and consistent with the KZ side cover angles :lol: .
It looks like you are doing some awesome work!
i already took a mold off of this plug, so i have no need for the plug. im going to use it to build off of for the second cover, which will bridge the gap over the down tube and tie into the air box. im worried these covers are just going to turn out massive if i do this.

I also thought this would be as good of time as any to make a lid for the airfilter opening. I had just had it taped before, any time i changed or cleaned the filter i would change the tape. time to fancy it up.
I found an old piece of neopreme, i cut it down to size and bevele the edge 1/16" to compensate for compression of the final neopreme later.
i then taped it down with packing tape, and coated everything with a very fine layer of grease.
I then layed up 4 layers of 6oz. weave with epoxy resin. I put a rubber band around the top so the fiberglass would snug up underneath the locking tabs. I also jammed a squegee under the onein the front.
I then put some wax paper and a book with a can of paint for weight to make sure it was flush with the top. hopefully this turns out. :woohoo:

making progress on the sidecovers finally. The bevels i added to the airbox turned out to be a major PITA, but im glad i did it as it flows nicely into the side cover. its straight epoxy and fiberglass no filler
