Check the Harley parts vendors [J&P cycles,vintage parts catalog]They would have small boxes for batteries,or try a bike wrecking yard.My old SL175 donor bike has a small battery cage [too small for Bonnie] that could be enlarged.Gel batteries work great,some even upsidedown,then painted black to blend in with the frame.A leather tool bag to match your seat with the battery inside,carve out a recess in your seat foam,get a magneto and bumpstart the bike every ride. :-D

Hey rodburner,
Any problem with keeping my current set-up? I just laid the battery flat on the swingarm in front of the rear tire and wrapped a leather battery strap around it attached under the swingarm with a bolt and nut. It seems stable as ive riden over potholes and rr tracks and it doesnt shift at all. Obviously, i need to check the strap from time to time, but do see any problem with just leaving it this way? it looks pretty clean.
