    where to buy a Battery box?

    Hi,

    I've been looking for a universal battery box for use on my GS brat-bike project. I'll be running without side covers, so a battery box is necessary to protect the battery and terminals.

    Any suggestions?

    thanks!

    Have you already looked on Ebay?

    Course, I'd consider making my own but I'm not that smart when working with metal. Maybe you can look up Pete's 450 thread and see how he did his.

      This is kinda cool...


      I poked around the usual chopper/bobber places, and I guess people usually fab their own. Didn't see anything much.

      No battery boxes, but lots of cool bits:
