GS1000 Air Box Removed: Secure the battery?
Perhaps not a performance mod but when you remove the GS1000 2V airbox what are you guys using to secure the battery from bouncing around? This last year I reinstalled the original battery box after running a 16 Amp battery for a long time to fight starter kick back.

My plan is to use that space to make a storage box for tools and such...which would also hold the battery down.Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game

Weird, that must have been another 1980 change. My battery box has the tabs for the rubber hold down strap.

The G is different to the 78... I have both.

How about make a tool box out of your stock airbox and just put it back place?'84 GS750EF (Oct 2015 BOM) '79 GS1000N (June 2007 BOM) My Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/soates50/
