But really? Oh well I guess I am not needed here and others can do a better job of it. Thanks to all who have purchased parts from me sorry I can't do more but just getting a bit old hanging with the kids
So with that said .......

Sorry Chris. Just trying to fit in with all the witty banter, remarks, and comebacks on here ;-)
I should be nice though, maybe our family is neighbors. My dad is from Poughkeepsie. Ha ha.
Back to the battery. I priced one at 23.00. That's about a dollar/lb for a weight mod.
Not bad!

^^ awesome
so... to bring this topic back up.. I have some photos that i'll post shortly on this. but
elpincheboss - you ever build that toolkit area?
and has anyone ever remounted the top lid with NO starter pieces inside? I used the freeze plug idea to cover the hole and was wondering if anyone has come up with an idea to mount the lid with nothing internally...
cheers

Someone should post a step by step "how to" on this procedure w/ pics or maybe a YouTube vid link.
No place to buy the "kit" The best you can do is to try and find parts from the bikes that it came with.

Going to add this to my "to do" list Sat as well. My bike is rewired and the elec start was left out anyway. Might as well ditch that heavy starter!

I'd like to see if I can get some clarification on this also from the picture? I just got an '84 XS400, and over the coming months I'm going to start modding her and making her fairly minimalist with a bobber-ish theme, so I'd like the info on this also, please. Thanks guys.
PS: Been reading the comments on here and looking at the pictures of bikes, you guys ROCK!

Could I glue the stock cover down with high-temp silicone? I have a freeze plug to block off the shaft hole already.
