I didn't take the battery box out of my 781000 project bike and I have no idea how it fits back in the frame.Manual has no clear picture of this that I could find.Describe if you like but a picture would be real nice.
Thanks in advance
 
Although I can take several pic's for you tomorrow, it is pretty much idiot proof.
There are two bolt holes on the cross bar behind the engine and only one side of the battery box has two bolt holes.(Ears)
Or is it the other way around? Either way, idiot proof.

Do you have the gromets and bushings?? Just slip the main basket down in according to the holes..will only go one way. Then the side plate goes on and youll see that there are hard points in the frame for the bolts.
 
OK why the heck didn't I check the fiche?Ony trying to put a 83 750 box into it.Now i feel real dumb:(
 
Man standing outside a car with a coat hanger and another guy asks him if he has locked his keys inside.. Man with hanger replies.."Nope..just washed it and am hanging it up to dry." Heres your sign!!!!!
 
Then lets keep the comments in the political or off topic threads and NOT in this mans ..or anyone elses...threads
 
Well then, I hope that you were not trying to imply that something was wrong with SV by your comment about the sign.

Daniel
 
You dont need to worry about my relationship with Greg or what you percieve as an implcation..hes sitting there chuckling I am sure.
 
No Greg is busy taking pics VVV

Much better:oops:
While I have you,have to take the back bit of the air cleaner off to get to the battery?.Not a problem just wondering because that the way it looks to me.
 
Yes thats correct..the upper rear portion has to removed to access the battery..add any connectors for a batterry tender and run them out just in frt of the side cover. Much easier than removing the box to use the clamps. You have the thick rubber pad for the bottom of the box???
 
Think the pad's here,somewhere.If I can't find it I'm putting thick weatherstrip on the bottom
 
I wouldnt use weather stripping...The foam will shred as the battery vibrates around on it. Next best thing would be some 3/16 neoprene or similar rubber..like from an old truck mudflap. Put some contact cement on the bottom of the box and the rubber and let it tack up good. Then lay the rubber in the bottom.

EDIT...And note that the original pad had 2 rubber nipples that went thru those two holes at either end to hold it in place in the box..if they are gone you should use the cement on them as well.

Any of your buddies must have an old beater that you can snatch a flap off..Boulevard has them new for like 7 bucks..
 
Also..Come to think of it..the thickness of the bottom rubber is releveant in that it raises the battery up to a level that the cables will flow across the top and not be bent down to make the connection with the bolt...follow what i am saying??
 
Yes I do.Sure the OEM pad's here,just need to hunt it down:-k
