Ok, Im am getting this bike dialed in pretty good thanks to all your help. Next on my list is getting the battery, electric start, etc working again.

At the same time that I lost my brakelight/fender assembly I broke my battery box as well, had to drive back to camp with everything on the seat between my legs. Scince then I have never got all the electrics ironed out and have been driving with a dead battery and some zipties, long screws etc holding everything in place.

I would like to get everything back working but my starting point will have to be something that will hold the battery when I go offroad again.

Thanks again for everyones help....

If it was me and wanted something qick and dirty I would look in the food storage container section of your local big box store. We have Big Lots around here that has food storage boxes that would work for a CBs smaller battery.

what i did on my 2007 komoto is i toke some 1/16" plate and made a box that fit my battery then i found a spot located under my seat where i wanted to mount and could fit the battery and welded a piece of tube with 2 bolts on it to my frame and then added some tabs to the battery box and i just use black duct tape wraped acouple times to hold the battery in.
