Evening all. Ive started making stainless steel battery boxes if anybodies interested. Ive got one for sale on ebay now if you care to take a look.Item number 260770074908. Its a very solid construction and big enough to get a fuse box in as well.Ive made a couple in the garage tonight.The one was a bit scratched and wouldnt buff up very good,so i swirled it instead to give it a hot-rod look.Will put the pics on tomorrow.

What sort of price are we talking about here Hornet?
Can you make custom orders? (I'm thinking an electrics box & battery cradle for my XS650 chop at some point).

Right, as its created a bit of interest. I sold one on ebay a few weeks ago for £40 and now a guy in Italy has offered me £50 to make a box just slightly smaller for him.I think it would be reasonable to ask just £30 for the members on here for a basic box and lid. I think the basic size would be like the one for sale L200 x H140 x D100. If you want a slight variation to those sizes the price will still be the same,its only when i make more complicated shapes or massive boxes that the price will go up.
Mr mankey.If you want a battery cradle making,Ime assuming the type your talking about is one that leaves the battery in the open air.Just send me a p.m with maybe a rough sketch with some dimensions on and i can see what i can knock up.Maybe i could start making those for custom machines as well.

Yup, that's the plan- a tray for the battery to sit in, (it already sits inside the standard Yamaha rubber "bucket"), plus a strap that runs over the top of the battery & down the sides to attach to the base. My bike's in PD's shed so I'll get him to measure up & get back to you.

most of the custom ones have a plain tube about 1/4" od fitted for inlet and outlet tbe oil pipe slide on and clamp over the top does the job.
