As I remember, I used a fine hacksaw blade with tape wrapped around one end as a handle. That allowed me to cut it in place. Just watch what you're cutting carefully so you get the cut in the right place, and you end up with a functional battery box and a functional airbox.

After you get it done, you just have to take out the battery and the new, small battery box and the airbox will move rearward nicely. I posted about how I secured the airbox to keep it forward so the carb boots stay in place.
