Today, I make a custom battery hold down for the DR650

I make a custom battery hold down for the DR650
In this episode, I show you how to make a custom battery hold down for the DR650. Sometimes parts are no longer available for your motorcycle, and you are forced to look for used ones or make your own. This project shows you how easy it is to make a simple bracket and how much fun it can be doing it.

Dino, a US steel worker, just love your channel (this is a complement). I like how you take your time and explain & slowly talk us through ALL your projects and videos. KEEP up the good work! -Ham

I’m so Glad to see Karl back! Great episode, it’s always a great excuse to buy new tools, they make life easier. 👍

Thanks Kelly

That battery holder worked out very well, Dino. The video is a good prompter to encourage people to fix, re-use and make (that is how we justify all the shed gear we acquire over time 😂). You showed techniques that others can easily copy and end up with a good product made from materials you and Karl already had in your sheds.

Thanks Mal, I'm so glad you liked the video. Ya I like building stuff like this, fun and rewarding.
