Battery Cover Question

[tod.branko_imp]

I suppose the battery cover is there for two good reasons:
- it allows you to store small items, so they don't disappear between the wheels, and
- it ensures that a metal object (tool) cannot make a short between the battery's poles.

I never store anything in the motorcycle, even the tool kit I remove, unnecessary weight, if I am to think I might need it I'll just put it in my bag. The modified toolkit wouldn't fit in the compartment anyways. It basically a puncture repair kit and a mini compressor
