Not to split hairs here, but I think Dan meant to remove the top 2 bolts on the subframe, not the swingarm.

Correct! My Bad.  Although, for as long as I've tinkered with bikes, I've reversed these two parts, when not thinking explicitly about it.  'Sub' meaning below, belongs below a 'high flying' sounding part like a "swing arm"...    :pardon:

Good advice Dan, I think you meant sub frame bolts?

  Regarding the air box removal, if you remove the top 2 swing arm bolts, and loosen the bottom two, the swing arm will pivot down on the bottom 2 bolts which in turn provides you the crucial little bit of clearence needed to remove the air box, and the carbs as well...

FYI.
