The factory sent out a tech bulletin that said the battery box had to remain because it was a structural part of the frame. Also, the seat has a lip that goes under a catch on the battery box. There is a catch at the front of the seat on the gas tank and a bolt at the back of the seat. I'm sure there will be guys who try to rig something up to go in place of the bbox but, according to the factory, this should not be done.
