    Hey Grease, you could remove both assemblies. The fuses can be packed into the headlight bucket and you can remove the air box assembly completely. Just got to lengthen the wires and run them up to the headlight assembly. Or you can stuff them behind the stop lamp inside the housing. Get creative but be careful about where and how you mount the fuse holders.

    His suggestion is to eliminate the intake and put 4 individual pod filters on the carbs. No need to make anything out of PVC.

    If you do 4 individual pods most people are saying you have to rejet. I have made an intake out of pvc its not hard and it uses one pod filter and I have not had to rejet. If you search the forums for leather side covers or copper fuel line I have pics of mine on there. and its easy to mod to a different filter placement.
    good luck
