Cleaning up the area under the seat

[Guest]

So I would like to ditch the side covers and clean up the area underneath the seat so that it looks something like this:


But I don't know where all the stuff that's under there has gone. I understand the airbox has been replaced with exposed element filters. But where is the rest of the "stuff" located? Battery? Wiring? Heat sinks, or whatever those are? Fuses? ETC? If anyone can point me to a write up or a post detailing something like this it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Maybe can drill a hole in the frame and run wires down the tubes with the aid of a fish tape. Those super tiny lithium ion batteries can go almost anywhere.

Look under the seat it is all there just in a different place.

Welcome !!

I have a suggestion. You really should learn what all those "things" are and what they do before you go rearranging them.

Just my 2 cents.....

At least part of what you can do to "clean it up" is to tell us what bike you are starting with.

The bike in the picture appears to be an '82 850GL, but it's obviously not yours, or you would be bragging about it, not asking about it.

What do you have?
