MOB, will the tool tray fit with the stock coolant bottle installed? Doesn't look like there's much room in Elvin's set-up as it is, and he's using a thinner bottle.
That wasn't Elvin's article, it was done by Jeff Hunter last year. Elvin is the master Librarian of everything we write....
Jeff's setup, using a different bottle, still allowed the tool tray install, but my (COG-Fugalicios) workup doesn't.
No, you kinda loose the tray for the tradeoff. I originated this when I built my '88 COGZilla, and it was a Nekid bike, needing a relo for asthetics.
I ditched the tool tray on that bike, and ran an el-cheapo thinner battery also, but still could carry tools in a roll-up tool pouch on top of the battery.
I aquired multple Roadgear tool bags as prizes over the years at various rallies/rides.
this works and fits well, and shoulsd help:
