series 1 framebreather battery or not

[andrewgc]

Guys, im having conflicting information , does a bog standard series 1 125cc 1958 framebreather have a battery or not? i thought not but somebody assured me today that it did have one?

My 59 125 frame breather doesn't have a battery and there's never been a battery tray fitted

cheers mate,

[Watfordwhite]

My 58 Framebreather does. Fits on the upstand between the tank and tool box. Where an air box would be on a non Framebreather. LI150. Italian

[Watfordwhite]

It's a bolt on tray, not wielded on like a series 3. Bolts to the V shape upstand.

[andrewgc]

are you running on 6v or 12v?

[Commander Bond]

I’m 6v and got a 58 with NO battery tray or wire going to a battery tray

[Steve J]

It was usual for the 125 to come without a battery (to keep the price down), the 150 usually had one!

Thanks all
