Re: PROJECT damn it battery tray mounted
Yeah The primary wire is pretty thick but its not real thick. I have a pretty good amount of extra room under the seat cowl to store the wires.

Re: PROJECT damn it battery tray mounted
Well with our Christmas party out of the way I was able to get some work done. I have been working on Jenns bike this week too. So i have two projects going. I was able to finish the battery tray and the battery box. I drilled the crap out of the battery box. Lightened it up quite a bit. ;D
finished the taillight bracket too. it gets mounted by studs that are welded to the battery box. They go though the tray and then through the bracket. Then the battery tray has four rivets. I guess its been so long since I updated that i have since installed the engine and have it rolling. Im gonna call this final mock up. Looks pretty sweet.

Re: PROJECT damn it final mock up?
Thanks Swag. Yes mine were good. I hope yours were good too. I dont recall the thickness of tubing used I know its less than .120. 14 ga maybe. I went lighter than 120 because that seemed a bit heavier than what i needed.

Re: PROJECT damn it final mock up?
Hey rip all you want. Its not my idea. I have to give that one to Bryan Fuller. I saw his bike at Barber and had to have it. I'm sure you could easily pull it off. Hell i halfway did. The fact I did the monoshock allowed me to run a thinner tubing. Its 1 inch O.D. BTW. Im glad you like it. I love it.

That is a dang sweet looking bike! The spring on that shock must be SUUUUPER stiff! It looks like close to a 5:1 motion ratio!
I just read your entire build, very nice setup, good work!

Re: PROJECT damn it final mock up?
Thank you sir, your not too shabby yourself.
I am glad you like it. There are some things that I came up with that i thought were pretty clever. I think I've done everything twice on this build. Go figure it is my first build. So I guess I was just gaining experience. I have a feeling i will be doing the frontend again too.
