Build Thread Battery and Roof Rack New Install

[Msnow22]

So today I installed the Front Runner 3/4 Rack and a Kickass slim line lithium battery. I did not opt for dual battery because I wanted to do my own thing . I had to modify the seat slider handle and move a connector but the battery fit under the seat. At some point will be putting in the 40V DC charger for the battery but for now I thought people would like to see the battery. Had to raise the seat up a few clicks but this works for me. The shorter you are the better this would work. It also means I get to keep all the space under the front seat.

Are you Aus based, looks like US? Been waiting to get hands on 3/4 rack. Do you know what your overall height is now with it added? Is it less than 2.1m?

Was lso going to fit also. Check out Leitner Design USA also lighter than Rhino.

I am after placing the rack directly onto the roof (on Grenadier rubberised mounts) having fixings similar to Leitner solution that bolt to the main roof members ( existing rails). The roof gutter is actually not as strong being only pressed metal.

This also provides a lower profile and some reports indicate less wind noise.
