When I took mine out the bolt and nut had seized. Being that the nut was captured or kind of heat welded into the plastic tank, it required prying the nut/bolt upward and prying the box downward to get them apart. It can now be repaired with a wellnut, if I ever want to return it to use.

Everyone removes this box when they convert to individual carbs like Mikunis or Dellortos. Because there is no longer a way to pipe it into the stock airbox which is no longer used. You can install the little black box back if you wish or you can install a crankcase breather filter directly on the hose from the engine.

Look here for some info on body panel fasteners. :thumbup:

Thanks Tim.

I'll look into that.
