Right-angle battery post thingies

[tommyj27]

When I replaced my battery a while back I forgot to remove the right angle terminal doodads that allow the cables to attach horizontally rather than vertically. I have been getting by with the cables attached horizontally but it's really obnoxious whenever I want to unhook the battery. Are these some sort of standard part that I can get at the stealership or an auto parts store, or are they FZR specific?

*bump* - Beuller? Beuller? Beuller?

On my battery you can just flip the metal piece that goes on the battery itself

I want to help but I'm not 100% on what you're referring to on this

If you can take a picture i can help you better

[haunter]

uh yeah pics plz

[tommyj27]

I would post pics, but i'm missing the part. I'll try and sketch something.

[tommyj27]

Here is my awesome sketch of the part I'm wishing I still had. I don't recall if it was bolted or screwed to the battery post, but I do know that the power cable screwed into the right angle thingy. Does this make any sense?

[haunter]

aaaah gotcha

I dont have those either

[tommyj27]

So your battery is connected like so?



That sucks, unhooking the battery was 10 times (exactly ) easier with those. I imagine they could probably be fabricated w/o too much trouble.

nope........

screwed in from the top down

i dont have a battery box on the 600 at the moment...need to fabricate something that will pass tech at a track sometime this summer

Guys,
a heavy duty bit of alloy will do the trick (my trini bike has them so no photo) but they are a good 1/10 or 1/8 thick right angled bits the heavier the better for current flow, brass may be better if you can get it Nerd

I ain't that worried about it yet, but thanks, I'll keep my eye out and nap something if I see it

That's what i'm looking for; I guess my original diagram wasn't terribly accurate, or I just didn't remember it quite right. Are your battery posts threaded so you can screw straight down, or is the "screw down" a removable doodad that bolts onto the battery post? I thought they were removable pieces on my old battery because I thought I had tightened them down at one point.

i have the standard 'box' for a post......that you insert a recatngular theaded plate into and the screw goes through a hole in the top into the plate...

Haunter,
can you get a picture to clarify this for the readers ?
Thnx

Yeah, if it's not too much trouble I'd appreciate it. Sounds like what I'm looking for. Or if you can find a pic online...like at bike bandit or someplace i can buy a set *wink wink*
