The battery goes between the left rear tire and the frame. There is a box bolted to the frame. Red circle in my pic.

your persistant aint you!!!!!! Do you have a manual for this trike yet? Bikebandit also has good microhiche to go by. Surely you are researching before you post, right Luke? Follow the power wire to it.

Luke just razzing you a bit, couldnt resist.

when the PO spray bombed the trike.. he also decided the wires needed paint too.. so i am just following the wires from there place of origin. i have electric start hooked up and kill switch. ( battery is not in yet theres no bracket for it )

most of the wiring is painted. and taped into a death ball of wiring. i was hoping to find out where the relay is bolted to or where it is period so i could bypass it cause im doing all the wiring myself. the wiring this guy did is so terrible im suprised it runs as good as it does.

The starter relay should be over the airbox at the back of the frame. It's slide into a piece of rubber that attach to the frame.

The CDI is a rectangular box. The starter relay is smaller and round. It also have nuts and bolts sticking out from it.
