Hello from IN, have a question.

[Hghlndr]

Hello,
I am getting a 1973 XS650 this weekend. I am looking at doing a bratstyle build. I have everything pretty much figured out, but what I can't decide is where do you put the battery? I know a hardtail is easy, but I can't really tell where to put it on a bratstyle from the photos I have seen. Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe some are below the swing arm mount. like here http://www.xs650chopper.com/2010/06/b-ratstyle/

Hoosierland? What part?

I live in the northern part. Milford. It is about 1 hour West of Fort Wayne and 1 hour South of South Bend.

Do a permanent magneto conversion and run no battery

Hey Hghlndr.... I am in South Bend.... think you are gonna be up here for the ABATE/MDA Ride Labor Day weekend? I would love to get a group of XS's together.

I don't know if I will get to make it or not. I need to get a shake down ride or two in before I get that far from home.
