I'm looking for something a bit different than what I see most of the time.
I am keeping a stock sized battery, and am looking for a battery box to hold it with all the electronics. I have ditched my side covers since prefer the look of a bike without them. The stock battery box is just not a good looking piece of hardware...... I'm looking for a solution that has flat / plain sides and can be painted.
I would love for this thing to be removable.
It must allow for:
Stock sized battery (preferably also rubber boot for vibration insulation)
Starter solenoid
Ignition switch
A small fuse box
A tiny bit of wiggle room for wires etc.
Preferably a mounting point for the above mentioned items instead of just having them shoved in there.
I am running a counter balance cycles seat, so no clearance above the frame - the seat sits flush.
Basically something to fill the space in the attached pic. I borrowed this pic from another thread. Red X's over the side cover mounts is to show that they are gone.
