    You may wanna try hitting your local scrap yards. sometimes I find completely sweet homemade/ fabricated parts on some of these bikes. Again I would have to see pics. In my chopped cafe I just left it under the seat but turned sideways and got a battery box off the scrapped gsxr 750 i bought. Yes I had to trim and bend where need be but holds any battery I want in it. Your level of aesthetics may differ. post pics for better tips,a lesson I am still learning.
