Re: My Blinged-Out RZ Project
Okay, back on track.
Need to get this welded to the frame, so I can measure for the aluminum bracket.

Re: My Blinged-Out RZ Project
Can't stop testing my limits.
Hopefully, I can stay on track with the bikes.

Did you wear your "Trump is a dick" shirt when going on a trip to the bible belt?

Martial arts. Everybody is doing it.

Re: My Blinged-Out RZ Project
2nd battery bracket welded in.

Re: My Blinged-Out RZ Project
Made a one-off titanium grommet retainer for the 2nd battery box bracket.
All electrical components on this bike are rubber-mounted.
Was just thinking that I haven't seen rubber-mounted components on any of the custom bikes I've viewed. Maybe, I'm going overboard (?). I know on the OEM RZ350, everything is rubber-mounted.

Re: My Blinged-Out RZ Project
Machined bracket for the battery box is done.
Fits rightly, but the rubber grommet is too close to the welding area.
Will need to machine a custom aluminum piece to hold the bracket during welding. Could't find the right junk to rig it properly.

Re: My Blinged-Out RZ Project
Scribe a line around the bracket for alignment and then just clamp it in position for welding using your scribed lines.
Accurate enough especially using grommets which have a little leeway anyway.
I rubber mount most things.
It's extra work but worth it I reckon.

Not sure if the bracket sits perfectly flush against the box.tankslap wrote:Scribe a line around the bracket for alignment and then just clamp it in position for welding using your scribed lines.

Also not sure if I can find a clamp that will hold the bracket flush to the box without moving. The flange is tiny.
I'll take another look. Thanks.
Re: My Blinged-Out RZ Project
Machined up a spacer to hold the batery box bracket during welding.
Done. Just need to match drill holes for the cross bar.

Re: My Blinged-Out RZ Project
Any guesses as to what these machined parts are for?
Hint: they're mild steel.
