i saw a company on myspace that reloactes it between the motor and radiator, down by the skid plate. i will try to find them.

[xtremelimit]

thanks crashmore22 and 450r gncc if you have that site let me know thanks:D

[450RGNCC]

i looked around but i didnt have any luck finding it. i am sure that you could do it yourself or have someone weld up a nice bracket for you and then just re route your battery cables or get longer ones if needed.

Thanks! I bought the box from a member here doober450r. But, I didn't like the way it mounted so I cut the mounts off and fab'd some new ones.

It now uses the four bolts that hold the grab bar on to mount the box also. I also fab'd mounts for the solenoid on the back.

I used a ytz14s battery.

PM doober450r he may still have some. If you need any more info or pics let me know. :cool:

I have 2 options for you. I have a aluminum airbox with a battery relocate kit in it, and a battery only box that will be done this week that will locate the battery in place of the air box. My relocation kit is for a stock battery and is actually designed for using a 2 battery setup. These boxes are designed to use a stock size battery. I will be posting pictures on wedensday when the 1st tool kit battery kit will be finished.
The design on the tool kit area is designed differently because for long travel rear suspensions there is a posibility of hitting the caliper.

I will post up when I get it.

ok tfuchs thanks i am waiting to see this setup let me know as soon as u get pictures thanks:D :cool:

[tfuchs]

Will be done tomorrow, I was at the shop today and he is almost finished.

[xtremelimit]

ok thanks

[tfuchs]

The First one is done and mounted on the quad. Testing will be finished after I race this weekend. This can be set up to relocate your battery or run 2 for better starting.

Price is $75 just for the box, $80 with wiring and 2 battery install instructions, and $85 if you want to completly remove the battery from the side and mount it in this box(1 battery setup)
Shipping is extra.

As of right now this is the only one built. Lead time will be a week for now. I will be ordering several at a time and will soon have some on hand.

ok cool let me know if it hits the caliper if not i will need one and i will be running a long travel rear setup so hope this doesnt matter thanks:D :D

[tfuchs]

My rear has a GTT Full setup which is pretty close to long travel. I tired to get it to hit tonite and couldnt.

I will post more on monday or sunday night.

[tfuchs]

Alrighty......I need some more adjustments ...I should have the next prototype in a week or so.

[xtremelimit]

Yes

Thats next on the list...I actually have the guys to make it...I will keep everyone updated.

[xtremelimit]

[dober250R]

I actually made the box that the first guy in this thread was talking about. My name on here is Dober250R, on trx450r.org, it's Dober450r. I no longer work for the company that has a waterjet, so I can't make these for the dirt cheap price I used to. I only made a handfull, and mine were made out of stainless, TIG welded.

[xtremelimit]

hey my email is xtremelimit@aol.com please let me know how much for the box
