I always see café guys showing off their wiring, but I never see chopper/bobber guys showing off their wiring. I'd like to see how you guys are stuffing your electronics boxes. Especially the oil tank style... are you just stuffing things in insulated and loose or fabbing mounting brackets for stuff? In a forum search I only turned up a couple of examples...

Trying to come up with some clever ideas for an electrical box... need inspiration. I may or may not run a battery... this is my first bobber.
 
No! You can't see the inside of mine brother. It's a mess in there.:wink2:
This is all I can show ya man. I made the little tray for the fusebox to two sided tape to.

4X6X2 (I think) Electrical project box mounted under my seat.
Showing Home made Rectifier, fuse box, and key switch. The Rectifier is under the seat too. Everything else is under the tank.

Is that all? Are the rest of you guys that ashamed? ;)

hahahahah my lack of an electrical box since i got rid of the battery, but my electrical box is going to be a hollowed out battery in a leather case, this is my electrical sight right now (just a sparx cap and fuse block):D

I'm very likely to go battery-less. I think that I can hide my Rec under the motor where the starter motor is located after it's removed. I want to retain Turn signals, because of that, I'll probably use a 7" head lamp and go with ears, There whould be enough room in there to be able to drop the flasher in there. Maybe even a timer and relay for the headlamp to not come on until say 20-30 seconds after power is applied. (No light during kicking =:bike: )

So that really leaves me needing space for a fuse block, Cap, Key Switch, run/kill switch. Not building a rat bike... so a Chock Full 'o Nuts can isn't going to cut it, need to come up with something attractive but not the usual. That damn E-bomb at Pandemonium looks freaking cool, so does the Pill at MonsterCraftsmen.

i just felt havin gthe area on mine completely empty and really like the look of my old leather battery case so figured id re purpose the old battery into a plastic shell to put everything in then when in the leather case it will look like im running a battery. luckily i have no mass of electrical to hide so i can also prob use the hollowed out battery to keep my paperwork and some spare fuses/tools:D
 
Nothing too exciting here, still stock setup, just no more glass fuses. I left the RLU there for nostalgia, but it's not hooked up anymore.

Hoping to put my fuse box and Boyer ignition in it!

Made out of a biscuit tin.

hahahahha i like the biscuit can idea.. show some pics when its done. will you have to coat the inside to help prevent rusting? i know the cans come somewhat galvanized but dont think its enough to stand against the elements

Looks good. you might want to add a couple spare fuses into the extra spots. That way if anything ever goes, youve got a spare handy.

I have some neodymium magnets in the knob, to cover the key hole when not in use.

And yes, inside and out will be painted to prevent rust, as we have such lovely "dry" weather over here!!:laugh:
 
Ex army ammunition box, over christmas I'm installing my HHB PMA and going battery-less.
