No need to chop airbox, here's how to extract carbs easily in less than 5-min:

1. Remove seat, side-covers, tank, battery
2. Remove screws at bottom of battery box
3. Remove choke & throttle cables
4. Spray WD-40 on carb-boots and warm them with hair-dryer for 1-min
5. Loosen ONLY clamps between boots and carbs, slide clamps towards middle of boots
6. Grab carbs and slide them backwards out of boots
7. Loosen LEFT carb boot clamp to head, slide clamp toward middle of boots
8. Carefully pry LEFT carb boot off head with rear sliding back onto carb
9. Pull front of LEFT boot sideways to remove
10. Loosen clamps/spring-rolls between carbs & airbox
11. Push carbs forward off airbox
12. Remove carbs sideways from left side.

The trick is to leave them attached to airbox to make as much clearance in front as possible to remove left boot completely. And leave right boot firmly attached to head to give enough clearance to remove carbs sideways
