Hello,
First time posting on this site though I have used the archives in the past. I've been stuck on Guzzi's for a while and really dig the wild goose chase site....anyway I was looking for a winter project and this poor guy chained to a fence post not 2 miles up the road from me with a for sale sign on it that says
1972 Honda 450, Runs, shifts and no brakes $450.....I knock on the door and offer the guy $200 for it...which he kindly accepts and get it started...barely... drove it home..., I am really liking this bike...it was the same model I bought in 1977. Any way it is way to far gone to restore and I have been wanting a two track gravel road scrambler and this is it. Needed lots of work and took it down to the frame, sand blasted and it coming back very nicely...though I want to keep it bare minimalistic...I'll open the midsection of the frame up and get rid of non-structural/essential garb.
It'll wind up being kind of a bobber scrambler...finally my question.....I want to remove the battery box/tool box and was hoping I could get some ideas of
1) what small model battery would work well and 2) where can I best hide it??? thus opening up the mid section of the bike...I'd appreciate some ideas and information.
Thanks
