    After test fitting the battery and making the battery tight. This setup will be solid.
    Makes sense I force myself to wake up @0300 to go I’m not thinking of the days events just in the moment. In the evening I’m usually pulled in 4 different directions.

    Howdy Ryan!!
    I’m gonna put it in the oem spot the dual setup I wanted had to many compromises for space I’m not gonna give up.
    It does just set in and the oem hooks will work but I’m gonna get some that are a little beefier.

    So the battery slides in the lower half of the cage, the top bolts down via the 4 Allen bolts.

    inbetween the Allen bolts is where the J-hooks clamp down so in my weird NM public education I expect to have some serious clamping force.

    Plan on ordering some energy bushing for the core support and possibly cut out some nonslip rubber for a buffer between the cage/fender.
