Looking clean, get that seat, cos the one on there don't sit (sic!) right. a few here are building cafe's and flat trackers and discussions are as how to hide the battery and gubbins to clean the lines of the bike. keep us abreast of your project as it happens!!

Kayla Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 a few here are building cafe's and flat trackers and discussions are as how to hide the battery and gubbins to clean the lines of the bike. I'm going to remove the starter motor and associated crud and use the space to keep a little gel battery in, just enough to power the coil to kick start it The bike's daytime-only so I don't have to worry about powering lights Kayla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am not running lights except brake lamps for MOT. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
