Nice work
Broke c7
Well done, your 89 looks awesome!
I just picked up the same bike, thinking about trying what you did.
Would it be possible to strap a smaller battery in that stock location after the side is shaved off?
THANKS

thanks
thanks for reply. after some more work, I cleared out alot of room under the seat. It had lots of wirring for the Cruise control and cb radio. After I removed that I have a big empty space. Im still getting her figured out, the previous owner wired in a second starter relay, the book only shows one?
I removed the tour pack, so now I only have blinker and tailights going to rear fender. Youre bike gave me some inspiritation.

My battery tray has just arrived from Pinwall, although I have yet to size up fitting it. Bags are still in transit. With a 107" motor and a 2kW starter I need a beefy battery, so I will be keen to get in one as close to stock size as I can.

there is a lot of room once you get rid of that stuff isn't there?. i put a throttle lock screw back on so i still had that to use since the cruise is gone. I live in the middle of the prairies so throttle lock works well. I kept the tour pack and still use it when i ride with my daughter or girlfriend. it is not quick release since that was big money, but 2 screws and a bolt make it "quick enough" release, just a matter of minutes. I shaved all the lights from the t-pack so it is clean. i have a 1995 ( i think) third brake light off a GMC or Chevy astro van flipped upside down and mounted to the bottom of the t-pack. really makes it visible with 20 some LED's shining when i brake. this is just wired into the brake line with a 2 pin trailer harness.

second try
sorry not good at the pics.
one is a before of the 89 FLT
one after
the third is the same location on my 94 road king, basically seems to be same frame, I put an air horn (train sounding) in front of the battery. Im guessing that the battery tray for a 94+ touring would bolt right in? I havent made it that far yet.
