If you've ever tried putting the carbs back in with the airbox on you know exactly what I'm talking about.

No kidding. Even with the battery box cut on my '90 the carb boots were so stiff that after two hours, with my roomate helping me, I just left it unattached to the airbox, rode it to the shop and slipped the tech 25 bucks to put them on. He had that grin like he was getting 25 for basically nothing... Took him and another guy just under a half hour, and they still aren't as "on" as i'd like.
This is the only reason I'd go to pods. My '07 is much easier but still results in thrown tools.
