After showing the pics of Bobs battery box to my wife (Brenda), and going on about how good it looked, this stainless steel battery box got delivered yesterday.
The pics don't really do it justice.

I'm sure it will look even better once it's on the bike.

I like it!


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe

I take it that it is a custom piece as it has the Meriden logo rather than the Hinkley logo but I would snatch one of those up in a heartbeat! Looks Good!!! Do you know where she got it??

I believe she ordered it from Bob, who started this thread. Bob's a fine member of this site who offered to make up custom battery covers for us all.

Battery box was got from Tribal, the bike is in storage now for winter, with battery removed and on charger.
Brenda just sneaked away with the battery box to some local engraving outfit and got the job done.
I would have gotten Bob to do it (if he does stainless) but the highwaymans (customs) charges are just too high and you wait forever for them to release stuff.

I stand corrected... looks pretty darn good though, even if Bob didn't do it, lol!

Sorry Jim. Link I had for Tribal isn't working any more, appears they are not trading or are out of business.
I'll have a look around the web to see if anyone else does the stainless boxes.
