Air Box removal and battery relocation - need idea
08/27/08 at 20:51:32

Hey Savages,

I'm thinking of removing my airbox but I'm not sure what wiring I will encounter behind the airbox and need some ideas of how to hide it. If its a lot I might go the fake oil tank route. Also has anyone relocated their battery further back away from the stock location ?.
Any pics of the airbox removed would be a great help.

Thanx,

Glenn

I think Savage Greg did that to his bike.

Once the airbox is removed, just tie-wrap the wires that run on top of it to the frame and you're set. There are no wires behind to worry about.

Relocating the battery box aft is a good idea. It will allow you to install a cone filter AND remove the float bowl on the carb, without having to disassemble the bike.

Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.

I have a few pics, if interested PM me with your email. I have no time for photobucket or similar right now.

I ended up leaving the battery where it was for now. I'll post some pics later tonight. Now waiting on my exhaust wrap and fork boots to arrive !

Gee I don't know if I should tell a Kiwi since I'm an Aussie but:

The forward controls are by Seeger Cycle http://www.seegercycle.com/ls650savage.aspx

Very nice controls but at $650 they should be huh Grin

I actually scored them from a previous member on this site who was selling them of his bike so I got a killer deal on em.
