Pay no mind to how dirty the engine and assorted parts are... I'll be taking care of that when I get to actually taking the bike apart and cleaning it all up to get ready for the final build.

You can't see it in those pics, but the carb is almost tight up against a section of the frame, but I can make two pipes that go around the frame section, remove the airbox, and place the carb with a cone in the spot the airbox used to be.

This will also afford enough room for a standard 12V motorcycle battery to be placed under the seat where the airbox was, saving more room and further slimming the bike's profile.
