Firstly, thanks to the forum for its (unknowing) assistance and great reading over the last 18 months.
My first bike was a No.7 Dommie as a 16 yr old. Many bikes (and yrs) later I bought a badly abused basket Mk3 Inter with 36 Mikuni and Boyer 18 months ago.
After a bit of a struggle I'm finally getting somewhere. As the basket was very cheap and I intend to keep the thing long term I have had a reasonable budget to play with.
So far:- re-chromed rims & S/S spokes, S/S rear master cyl, pushrod and clevis, sleeved OldBritts front m/cyl, S/S caliper pistons fwd and rear, S/S braided brake hoses, Re-built motor - top and bottom, stripped and re-painted frame (using excellent jig from theses pages!), new fork & s/arm bushes, new harness (made for very good price by nice guy in NZ), Podtronics box, Pazon ign, Dyna coil, Comeau starter, nice S/S peashooters (made by semi-retired bloke in Vic - great job!), CNW h/light brackets, Corbin seat ........and Odyssey PC545 battery.
The last brings me to my question. Rather than re-invent the proverbial I would like the forums wisdom on mounting the o/sized battery on the Mk3 tray. --- fore & aft?, ---cut off small upstands on tray?
I know L.A.B. and some others run these. Would it be possible to get some advice/photos? Thanks in advance and cheers,
