3D printed Aliant YLP14 battery box for BMW airhead (tried and tested on a BMW R80RT). (Version 2)
This is version 2 of the popular BMW Airhead YLP14 battery box, the perfect solution for a hidden lithium battery setup.
Version 2 allows the battery straps to be passed through the box and around the battery allowing easier attachment and removal of the battery. (Straps not included, please read below).
A full installation video is available on youtube via the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzD9tQjlwZ4
Printed using PETG at 60% infill (which is very strong and heat resistant) and attach via the original airbox lower mounting bolt so no further attachment modifications are needed (see photo 2).
I recommend attaching the battery box using an M8 Ultra Thin Wafer Flat Head Low profile bolt (but any m8 bolt will work) with a small amount of loctite. I would also recommend using a thin layer of foam or neoprene sheet in the base of the box (see photo 2).
The battery box has a 6mm bolt thread for attaching an airbox replacement cover (see photo 2) 24mm or 25mm length bolt recommended.

*Before fitting the box to your bike please watch the fitment video on this listing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzD9tQjlwZ4
*Please do not over tighten the box when mounting it as it could lead to cracking or deformation (please watch the video).
*Battery box can ONLY be used with an Aliant YLP14 battery (I produce another battery box that fits the Antigravity AG801 battery if you are interested in that then please check my other listing).
*Please note that for lithium battery conversions you will need to upgrade to a lithium rectifier-regulator. I recommend: Rick's Motorsport Electronics Lithium ION Battery Compatible Rectifier Regulator.
*You will need to replace the airbox with pod filters or a similar setup (see photo 1).
*I do not supply the outer battery box / gearbox cover, this is a separate item, please use the ebay search for the seller jaking2141 or BMW R100 R80 R65 RS airbox replacement engine cover Scrambler Tracker Cafe racer
*When securing the outer battery box cover to the battery box you do not need to over tighten it, just tighten it enough so that it lines up with the starter motor cover and feels secure (please watch the video).
*I do not supply the battery straps, I recommend using VELCRO Self Gripping Ties 10mm, which you can cut to the desired length, 450mm is perfect.
*I have not tested this battery box on any other airhead model apart from a BMW R80RT so fitment cannot be guaranteed, however most models use the same airbox fitment (please feel free to send me pictures to confirm).
*This is a custom independently made part and I cannot be responsible for any damage that may be caused to the bike or rider if this part is used or fitted incorrectly.
*This is a custom made to order product so returns are not accepted.
