thinking of making a battery box out of another extinguisher of same size as bottom tank. slice it long ways in half, put the same slot in the top for prop. weld in a strip all round bottom bit so top bit drops over it. could make it slightly taller to accommodate height of battery. would look good with two identical cylinders next to each other, easy to make water tight as well.
any one see any probs

ended up getting a bike battery zakboy, amazing how quick it turns it.could have used the one from the 900 donor bike but put it on my vn 1500 when that one went., made a mock up in ply for box but couldn't take to it. hornet was gonna price making it in stainless. think the curves of a cylinder are way to go tho now.. got a bit of time this week so scouting for a donor extinguisher to get going.

found time to do a bit again. got the new axle with the conversion done. cut all the unnecessary off. gonna chop back off chassis n start again. making it a bit longer so if hit from behind the passenger ain't the first thing hit.

got axle off n chopped off ugly mounts i made. am gonna extend the back so the passenger ain't the first point of contact from a bump from the rear. hoping to put solid bar in the frame tube then extend with same frame tube. will be stronger and solid enough to mount axlel to.
if your reading this zakboy could you post a photo of your mounting set up, maybe give me a pointer.

hi dobber, i have added some pic,s off the tubular frame when i was tacking it together if you can shape your frame at the back in a simler way this would be quite an easy way to mount your axle, as you can see i made the frame so i could insert some box section between the tube then simple mounted it with ubolts 4 in all when it was all lined up and bolted down i welded 2 to the axle to stop the axle turning at the mounting points and left the other to just bolted up makes it easy to remove and replace the axle should the need arise i also placed rubber between the mounting points on the frame and the axle to cut down on any vibration. but of course there are other ways you could mount the axle.all the best zak
