I pondered with the idea but in the end it would make it more time consuming to service. I think in my case, I'm further off doing the Mouth- Reds frame mod and sticking to pods.

Is that because of the 400 frame? Clearly something you've thought out...lol

Yes, I've put a bit of thought into it! Lol It's a combination of a Reeded 500 in a 400 frame. Shoe horned from every angle... It looks good in there but a bit of a bear to work on unless you remove the gas tank. The idea was to use a compound dovetail for the above box to insert from the side, kind of like a cassette. Here's a link you might find interesting... motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Airboxes.html

That's one of the reasons I made it from two pieces, because I would of have to remove the tank...now I don't but ill read that when I get some time, looks interesting

Funny the difference between people like you, that use autocad and everythings looks so nice...and me, just a backyard hotrodder. The engineer at work and I actually work well together for that reason, because if he can't figure it out....I will
