carb removal

[Precious]

I'm back!

So, I need to replace the carb boots. They all have cracks, causing decel backfiring after the bike sat for 8 years.

Seats off, tanks off, air box is out...now how the heck do I get the carbs out?

I found 1 video on line, but it wasn't very helpful.

I also want to replace the ungodly air box and just put nice little air cleaners on the carbs, is that possible?

Thanks and for those of us in the colder climes, we will get through PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome) LOL
