Relocate battery

thunderhorse · 06-27-2007, 10:06 PM

Well, I finally broke my battery box today. I knew it was coming, just wasn't sure when, but one last little jump on a trail ant I landed with a tell-tale noise of something rubbing the rear tire. So a buddy had some bungees and I got it back home, now it's time to relocate it, I think. Anyone moved theirs under the seat yet? It's a 2006 LF200gy-2.

Can't think who has at the moment ( I think there's 2 people), but if you do a "search" the answer will turn up.

Here's what I did. 1000 miles, no issues. Best mod yet!

Mine fit pretty well where the air box went. After the cone filter mod my bike was see through at mid point. I just used metal brackets because I don't have an A/O torch. No problems so far and I really don't expect any. My pics are page 8 of the gallery if you want to do it re-adaptive engineering style. If you want to do it correctly, you may be better off following Red's advice.

I was checking my bike over Saturday evening & found my one battery mount cracked. I have the same bike as red, so i have a set of instructions for the relocation. Thanks Red

Sure, c'mon up to Vermont. Penn to northern VT can't be more then what, 6 hours??

. Seriously though, you only need a way to cut up some light angle iron and a welder. I got the lightweight 1 in. angle iron at Aubachon Hardware along with the couple nuts. Total price of the mod was like 9 bucks.
