Battery and seat

[kingvillardgs850]

Hey all I'm turning my GS850 into a café I was wondering what is the best small battery to use and as for the seat where can I find one. I could make one but I would rather not please help and keep in mind I'm on a college kid budget.

Did you get your clutch cable issue solved?

 

[kingvillardgs850]

Yes and no I ended up needing to rebuild the top end because something broke and the guy I got the bike from didn't tell me so I did that and got a new cable haven't put it in yet cause the motor isn't on the bike.

Nothing wrong with planning ahead.

However, write out a to-do list. Stick with it.

As for a battery, I am running an 8 cell Ballistic under my seat. It is tiny, weighs 1.4lbs. It spins my 750 over quite well.

You'd have to look at the spec sheet on it though, and see if it has enough cca's for your bike.

Cool what a seat though what am I to do about that.

The question isn't what we think you should do. What do you want to do with it?

 

[kingvillardgs850]

Well I want to relocate the battery under the seat because I'm making a café but I'm not to sure what's the best battery to use or where to go get a seat that I can do that with.

What kind of fabrication skills do you have?

 

[kingvillardgs850]

As mush as a normal college student but I'm finding out that I'm quick to pick up things.

 

[J-Rod10]

What you are wanting to do is likely going to require frame modifications, and fabrication of parts. Is that within your skillset? Do you know how to weld?

You will learn through experience, don't be afraid to screw up a few times on the way.
