Wanted - Electronics/Battery Tray

[garyheadlock]

Hey guys,
I'm looking for an under-the-seat electronics/battery tray. Something slim for a cafe build. Image examples below. Raw or painted, whatever, I'm interested.

Also, if anyone knows where I can find one online, I'd really appreciate the help!

Can pay or trade, your call.

Thanks!

I am in the same boat. Did anyone PM you a link or any info?

Nope. No help on this one.

The best thing I found was the guy over at Powder Monkees he was really helpful and offered to build me one. I'll be hitting him up soon.

Good luck.

I had Wes from Counter Balance Cycles make me a battery tray for mine, maybe shoot him an email...

Thanks Figure and Gary. I emailed both of them to see what could be done. Gary, please keep us updated. Thanks.

Here's a flat pattern for the one I built for my bike if it helps:

...and here's how it turned out:

The one shown above I made for mockup I just used relatively thin galvanized steel that I bent up and riveted together, but it's since been replaced with this:

All of that said, you can do it! I had my brother-in-law bend and TIG the final version from 16ga stainless, but the galvanized version could be repeated with thicker material and bent using a bench vise and a couple lengths of angle iron.

I believe in you! If you can build a bike, you can make a battery tray.

Matt at Working Man's Customs in Austin makes one. He's a cool guy who deserves any business we can throw at him. http://workingmanscustoms.bigcartel.com/product/xs650-battery-electrics-box

Buzzword, thanks for those plans! I cut one today out of 16ga sheet metal. I haven't bent it or welded it yet but those plans really helped.
