[Ducati] Carb part

Wed Jun 27 08:33:44 EDT 2007

A modification to make airbox easy to remove is easy on the SP.  There's a part of the molded airbox where the battery tray and the airbox join together.  If you turn the airbox over, you'll see a "split" between the two and they're only connected by a small strip of plastic.  Simply cut the strip and you'll have a battery tray and an airbox.  The battery tray will attach to the frame with two bolts, as will the airbox.  When you remove the airbox you can leave all of the electrical stuff in place by removing two screws that attach the bar that holds the coils and ignition modules to the airbox, then wheedle out the airbox part (you'll still have to remove the airbox top, I think).  This saves a bit of time, anyway, and makes the unweildy thing a bit more manageable.  

That's what I've done, anyway, and it's been in service for about 5 years.  I've got pictures on my desktop, and if you're interested I can email them anytime.

BTW, Izzak, I haven't forgoten you...I just keep forgetting to bring those dog gone frame decals to work to scan them.  Class has got me pulling my hair out, but I'll get them soon.  Sorry for the extended delay.

I have been trying to figure out a quick disconnect for the airbox (not
really, but it sounds good)

I understand what you mean totally, but then today I see people riding along
the coast hwy, and I SO want to be out there with them...

I can only watch this thread with frustrated amusement.  I've had year after
year of stuck floats, poor running and a leak just like yours.  3 years in a
row the horizontal cylinder broke a stud on the first firing of the spring. 
It's almost July and it's still under the cover from last October, guess
love is only blind for so long.  I know I need to get some new brass
thingies for the carbs and all will be better, but I'm not sure I can muster
the effort of taking the air box off for the millionth time.  I did epoxy my
cracked  part and it worked well.
