Oil
Tank Battery Adapter
A problem that pops up a
bit lately is getting an oil tank for a 750 that will hold the proper sized
battery. They were plentiful back in the 70s and 80s, but, not so any more...
much like most 750 parts. Oil tanks with battery trays are plentiful for
the HD Softails though, of course. You can use one of these, but the standard
12N14-3A battery for a 750 doesn't quite fill the opening and can bang
around loose if you don't secure it. Here's a part I offer that can help
in many ways.
By just drilling 2 holes
in the tray of the oil tank and installing this bracket.. you will hold
that smaller battery in place. Also, theres room for other electrics in
there with it and those two holes are the same dimension as the mount holes
of a Ricks Rectifier/ regulator to mount on the bottom of the oil tank
You can use the oil tank to house your oil, battery and electrics.. all
in one. t's made of stainless, so there's no need to paint or chrome it.
No need for an electric box or battery box. You will however, have to mount
the coils someplace, but that's usually the case with a standard electric
box as well. I offer these as well as the other components on my parts
page, towards the bottom of the page. Also,
I offer a discount for the package. This is not meant to be a shameless
plug..lolol.. but it's something that many guys find helpful and useful.
