what do you do?! i think you need a cross bike to use the parking area
. If that happend - the alternative is you put the battery in the Side of the frame....

And about the bat, doesnt it hit the ground for example going over the concrete edge at the parking area (i always have to do that when I come to my work place)?

No no, nothing like that
, its just when i come to work, we have this parking area that is surrounded by those small 10 cm / 4 inch high conrete things and i park my bike in the "inner yard" of our office so then i have to SLOWLY drive my bike over that concrete edge.
Just yesterday I was doing my new batteryholder and was wondering where to mount it except in the original place. Looks better when the middle area is empty.

You guys are great!
.. and thank you for all the Welcomes!
I am super excited about the future and all the possibilities with this bike. Another has popped up on craigslist here in Seattle and I am going to check it out this weekend.
I am adding all these suggestions and mods recos in one big list. I can't thank you all enough!
I will post more later.

B-i-L's battery is mounted in a fore/aft configuration where the air box was. PO used parts of the old battery box and I added a plate to the bottom for better support after he bought it. It is back between the side covers which are still on the bike with one of Lancer's carbs (I believe w/ cone filter) just hanging in the air looks retro for sure. PO added a auto parts store filter to the crankcase filter that goes in the airbox and it sits behind the RH side cover and seems to work fine. Max

But then I can't put the regulator/rectifier there...
Maybe if I mount it underneath...

i don't think the seat is that bad. when i ride at 45+ mph i slide my rump on the hump and lean into the wind . the wind holds me up i get less back strain.

So Leo, do you have more pictures of your bike? It would be cool to see what it looks like at the moment!

Sorry Marina, I think I just bought the bike you're talking about.
And I just want to say that this forum was a HUGE part in my buying decision. It's great to have a community like this!

Hi sorry for the late answer. I'll try to put a picture on the post as attachment, but the systems answer the picture is bigger than 250kb. I'm wondering because the pictures have 120kb.
:'(
I will try it over a imageboard and copy the link.
Stay tuned....Leo

Marina,
You'll love the ride, the simplicity of the bike, the mpg's, the ability to customize it yourself and not just add chrome or buy off the shelf items to install. I have had a HD Electra Glide, BMW's, Guzzi's, Honda'a, Yamaha'a
and a Kawasaki Voyager. This is the most fun to ride and I will repeat what they all have said, it is in the SEAT. Get it the way you are comfortable and you will love riding the bike and have fun doing it cheaply. Paul
