    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Has anyone relocated their ignition key if so can you post pictures.

Also has anyone moved the fuse box to behind battery?

Was looking at getting a battery tray with sides (holes) to match my theme and put the fuse box behind battery to open up side area where covers were. Any pics?

Thanks
 
Have not done it, so I don't have pictures, just a few suggestions and things to keep in mind.

1. The ignition switch also doubles as a fork lock. If you wish to retain that feature, you will need to cobble something up to lock the fork.
2. The ignition switch switches more than just the ignition. Yeah, it basically turns on the whole bike, but there is a separate circuit that is just for the tail light. If you move the switch, be sure to move ALL the wires, too, or at least be prepared to do some re-wiring to maintain your tail light.
3. We have had a few change their switch location, maybe they will chime in. That is usually something done on "choppers" which we don't see many of on this forum.
4. The fuse box can be moved anywhere your heart desires, just be prepared to do a LOT of patches to the wiring harness, as all the wires are sized to put it exactly where it is.
5. You are going to have to provide some pictures of a "battery tray with sides (holes)" so we have an idea of what you are trying to do. Most who are trying to "open up the side area" will move the battery entirely, so it's different that someone want to install "sides with holes".
