Looks nice! I agree the original side cover look so much better.
What did you use as cushion for the battery box. To me it looks like velcro. If it is, ust be aware that it will crush down to near nothing. You can pick up acid resistant rubber mde for battery boxes from just about any auto parts store or bike shop. Using that will reduce the shock on the wet battery. JMTCW.

If you get a MF, AGM battery, it won't leak like the wet cell that caused those problems. No damage to box, frame, or the electronics attached to the box. Plus more CCAs.
