Anyone know if there are a hotbox or aquvilannte out there for the drifter.. hade one mounted on my meanstreak which gave a cosmetic perk aswell as storage for fuel ans so...
.. Shure you guys have it covered,,, how big difference is the the drifter against the Classic in terms on frame and swing?
What is a hotbox?
:) sorry. ..a fiberglass box that fits where The "catalytic" converter should be... a nice way to get a couple or 3 liters of space. Named hotbox from that the rectifier mounts on it Making it a tad hot..... inside
Ah HAH....
Wouldn't one for a Meanstreak fit in the same place?

What a great idea for carrying a hot pie for lunch..
But I'm not going to do it.

You could always fab one.... some sheet metal, welder, 1" x 1/8" flat stock for mounting brackets.... Be easier to buy one if you could find it.
Hey, John, you could probably bake sweet potatoes in there.... :D
Heheheh dont think The frame and enginge mounts are the same as the hotbox. It was a Great placering for tools and spares on a long journey. .had 2 metall bottles of total 3 liters of petrol im it to. ..
After some digging gound that its scootworks that does them now http://www.scootworks.com/shop.cgi/page=partschin.htm/SID=PUT_SID_HEREhttp://www.scootworks.com/shop.cgi/page=partschin.htm/SID=PUT_SID_HERE (http://www.scootworks.com/shop.cgi/page=partschin.htm/SID=PUT_SID_HERE)
Interesting mod! I just mounted an old Harley tool box there when I moved my rectifier, but it's pretty much useless other then for looks. This would actually be useful.

So it looks doable....I'm struck out on Cash cause my car boke down so I can't try it right now but perhaps someone els can Do it?. I remember the installation on the meanstreak was so easy that I could Do it...and considering it took me 1h to change a front head Light bulb on a Toyota Aygo that says a lot *lol*
Hmmmmm. Interesting
Not exactly the "hotbox" as dscribed but here is a cover I fabbed for my recifier to fill the space of the original goat bladder.
Looks good!!

Why is yours useless? You can by a tool-box bag to fit right in there. Mine is full of tools. Fits a .45 quite nicely as well...

Jmbo doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a big heat sink attached to the rec/reg.

Only because I had to drill new mounting holes for the bracket on the back side and I didn't weld up the old holes. Other then that, it could be used.

I wondered that.... does it get enough air back there???
The box is actually an air scoop. It collects more air than just hanging on the side of the bike.
