Looks great. Very nice battery tray. Trying to get a similar tray for my tiger. Hava a volunteer to make it but hard to pin him down with all that fresh snow in the Alps.

Any idea for a paint scheme?

looking good yves, i like the battery tray, nice and big, keep the posts coming, regards simon.

[John Fitzsimons]

Looks very spacious.

[yves mouton]

Hello,

Simon and John i made my own battery tray because my tray has bigger
raised edges to connect my engine compartment on, and ath the front
between the motors i put the speedcontroller module on the tray. the smokers i'm gonna
place them on the side pannels of the tank in the back of the tank.
I have no place on the backside of the tray because there comes the static
Maybach engine and one of the battery's.
Best regards Yves

Hi Yves,
Nice work. I Like the longer floor tray too.
Is the tension bolt (CK0308) 6x60mm stock one or replaced longer one? Mine was replaced to 6x65mm bolt.

[John Fitzsimons]

Just how I want my tray. I want to make use of the space between the motors.

[yves mouton]

Hello Chang,

Yes i used longer tension bolts, i think they are 80mm long
Denny was so kind to send me a couple of these bolts.

John, yes i'm also gonna use the space between de motors for my speedcontroler
module, i dit this also on my tiger 1

Here are some pictures of my work on the KT

Will you cut the engine this time or do you have space for the full engine.

[yves mouton]

Hello John,

Yes i'm gonna cut the engine, just like i dit on the tiger 1,
the most details are just above the cutting
i'm gonna use the same setup for my 2 battery's.
I want to keep the battery's away from the blankfire,
