Battery box Gpz1100

#1 PostAuthor: **Taffus** » Mon May 19, 2008 5:54 pm

took the seat off for the first time today and found the battery loose in the battery box. Also the mounting lug for LHS electrical plate was rusted through.
Made a temporary repair and tie wrapped the battery in.
My question is should there be a clamp on the RHS to hold the battery in place ?
I think there should be as there is no hole for the bottom lug of the side panel to fit into (I can't see any evidence of any welds broken off the frame in this area)
TIA
Mark

Taffus, is this what you are after, this is a picture of my Z1000R, which has a bracket on the RHS with a grommet for the side panel.

Sorry the photo is not that good if you need one from the side, just let me know.

hi
its got a huge battery in there at the moment, I have tie wrapped it down (with an even huger tie wrap), Bit worried about losing the side panel (happened on my CB900F, took ages to get another)

I 'll get the photos done tonight
