Like the low mount battery. Thought of doing that with the battery on mine awhile back. Saved one of the old batteries so I could use it to make the bracket with,just need the time. Lookin good.

Great looking bike! Any clearance issues with the pipes? I'm looking at a set which is how I found your thread.
How bout a closeup of the battery holder? I was thinking about doing that then adding a fake oil tank for the electrickery.
One more, did you just cut the rear fender struts to use with that fender?

not sure what you are asking- there are no clearance issues with the pipes- they are not full scrambler pipes though- i used only the front sections from the head to where the the wrap starts then bent and welded up the rest- the best pic i have of the battery box is on pg 5 of this post- if you plan on building one of these there are a couple of things to keep in mind- the rear of your bike either needs to be slammed to the dirt(10.5 in shocks)or you're gonna need a shorter battery- if not the terminals will make fireworks on the underside of the swingarm- here's a pic of my fender setup- no struts, it bolts directly to the frame- hope this helps ya out- good luck-

very nice hutch!
let me ask you...what shocks are those?Can you ride with two up?It must be very hard almost like a hardtail i guess.
I personally bought a set of proggresives 11,5 inch but i had many issues so i had to sell them.The main issue was that the shocks travel were too much...especialy for a second passenger.

They are h-d shocks that i shortened to 10" and spun up some AL bushings to fit the metric studs- the springs weren't cut and i added a spacer inside also to put more preload on the springs- they ride super stiff- almost like struts... maybe 3/4" of travel- and they ride smoother with a passenger on board but will still bottom out on the big bumps while riding 2-up- hope this helps ya out-
