ok well i pulled the intake box out too to check the look of it without it, well 2 things, where can i get a nice clean sheet metal battery box, and why would there be a pint of raw gas in the air filters box,,, on the carb side.
is it loading up that friggin bad or did i just have the fuel valve in the wrong position overnight...

2 things...

...is the liquid in the airbox all gas, or is it just a gooey mix of oil and water, that smells like gas? That is normal, and the reason for the drain line. It's just condensation from the crankcase vent line.

...I'd like to know about the battery box too, when you find out.

A break table, would be real handy. I've had small amounts of success using c-clamps and steel pieces to bend against.

Gonna use the stock battery mounts? Then you'll have to put clearance in the bottom between the bolt heads and the battery, too.

An open battery box would be right there with my whole Naked Savage look anyway 8)

Turned sideways might actually put the bolts outside of the battery. This is the stock mount (with some old notes)

The link also has to be bracketed with the html codes for start and end image...

These brackets [ & ] go around codes "img" & "/img" and those go before and after the link.

If I type it correctly you won't see it, but you can check the use of the code for any picture in a message if you click on "quote". Then you can see the code and the link

Click the 4th symbol from the left above and it will show you too.

I think there is a topic about this too.

How does the reach on the drag bars compare to the buckhorns? Do you find you are leaning way forward? Also, the battery seems to be going from horizontal to vertical and back.... With the Cherry Bomb being such a visual peace are you gonna stick with a red bike? I'd like to hear that thing!
