This is directly related to the drz but I assume the logic will apply to all carb'd bikes.

So Ive got an issue where relocating the battery is the most obvious solution. However this poses a new problem of where to relocate it too, the easiest of places is to fab up a battery tray which will intrude into the airbox. This isnt unheard and is often done in the drz world for a number of reasons along with quite a few other airbox mods which are very common on the drz.
However its gotten me thinking that as an even better solution, as opposed to butchering the OEM airbox I could perhaps change the current air box and filter housing for one of these:

I know this is very likely to mean adjustments need to be made to the jetting (carb'd bike) but this isnt a problem as Im about to fit some flat slide carbs which will require jetting regardless.

So...
provided I adjust the jetting to suit am I going to have found a relative simple solution, or am I overlooking some very simple ERRORS!
