I replaced the rear mudguard/battery in my '98 T509 with that from an '01 955 (this was to better accomodate mounting of the MC1000 ECM as part of my Daytona retro)
Now I tried to order the battery tray for the 'new' battery box: item #3 in the fiche below.
However, it seems that perhaps there is NO battery tray support in the 00/01 model?
The two items described for item #3 are
- Battery Tray Support 885cc engine
- Support, Battery Tray ser # 89736 & below, 955cc engine
I had ordered the latter thinking it to be the part but it is very similar to the one I already had - both fit in the new box, but the mounting holes do not line up; there is a subtle difference between the one I had & the new one (which would essentially be the two parts described on BikeBandit above) and that is just the position of the detents for the battery which are slightly wider apart on the second one.
I think I now realize that the tray is perhaps only used in the T509 & T595 chassis - the difference being the 885 or 955 motor and a slightly different battery bewteen the two.
Anyhoo, here's my basic question:
IS there a support tray (as per item #3) at all in the 2000/2001 battery box, or just the strap (item 17) which also serves to secure the battery positionally in the base of the box?
Although the 2002 mudguard / battery box is different part again, it also appears to have no support tray & uses the same strap as shown in the diagram below.
