Hi Gunnar,

Here is the biggest you can go and still use the stock hold down
bracket:

5 7/16" wide
9 3/8" long
7 1/2" tall

Hope that helps...I had to kill one black widow spider (body as big as
my thumb) and attempted to kill one citrus spider (3 inch diameter - a
small one) during my 1 minute trip to the garage to take measurements. I
hate spiders...and Florida has bigguns. I'll have the heebie-jeebies all
night.

Last fall I went out to the Quota first thing in the morning to run to
the post office. Giant citrus spider sitting on my seat (5 inches
diameter - including legs). They aren't poisonous, but they are super
fast and have large bodies and thick legs - nasty. I tried to shoo him
off, but he hid in the recesses of the bike somewhere. I tried not to
think of him - hoping the 80 MPH wind would somehow fling him off.
Waiting at a stop light, I looked down on my right thigh to find him
creeping up on me. I flung him off with a gloved hand. Freeked me out
the rest of the way there and back. I hate spiders.

Greg,

I did read the Battery section of your page (I usually check there
first). If you had some measurements that would be great!

Thanks!

Gunnar

If that's not what you need, let me know and I'll pull out the ruler.

My Guzzi project made great progress in the last three weeks.
I repaired what needed repairing, the motor is back together, I got
(just about) all the parts I need and the tins are painted black.
This weekend I will put some parts on the freshly painted frame. The
motor is already mounted.
There are some more pictures on my page.
Does anyone have the dimensions for the Battery? I read them somewhere
but can not find the link again..
