My '96 is a California model with all the emmission stuff. I live in a "no smog testing" rural county in Texas. I have already removed the airbox and replaced it with a cone filter. I'd like to remove the plastic box under the frame behind the muffler. Is ther anything in particular I'd need to do, modify, etc., to get rid of that box? Thanks in advance for any help.
BTW, anyone considering a cone filter - the intake "honk" is loud and obnoxious. I cannot hear my exhaust at highway speed.

Thanks for the info. I am just cleaning up the bike, removing anything not needed. With the air box gone behind the battery, it looks more open and airy - less bulky visualy. Today's project is installing a Dyna muffler and losing the 55 gallon drum stock exhaust.
Thanks again,
Robert
