My spell check went crazy on that video :). Didn't seem that much quieter to me.

Yeah.... It's the price of the generator anyway.

22,

The lock would likely do little good. The bad guy would most likely take the whole thing (-:

I'd buy a pair of those generator enclosures. The one thing they really need is for the hasp that closes the door to be padlockable, or at the minimum, some way of locking the generator to the sliding drawer so one doesn't come back to a generator-less enclosure.

Thanks Jim.

They used to make a "quiet series" fully enclosed gen. I still have one of these. It runs, but doesn't generate any more. Haven't bothered to fix it because; a)non-inverter style, b)very heavy, c)burns oil, and lastly, it's really not very quiet.

OP,

Expensive case for a little generator.

About 6 years ago I posted about 20 build photos of the one I built for my EU1000i. My digital DB meter scale starts at 50 db and at 21' distance it would not bring the needle off of the peg powering a 500w work light. It is running now here at Fort Casey State Park and has probably over 1600 hours on it. Still starts first pull. Just regular oil changes is all it has had. It cost about $200.00 for material. I have lost the build photos. They may still be here somewhere.

You sent them to me and I did the same, but HERE is the original post with pix

The Honda box looks to be, like most Japanese stuff, engineered with a lot of ergonomics.

If I needed one, I'd buy an aluminum tool or battery box and machine it with the right openings. I'd use some type of constrained layer damping to lower the db. There's no way I'd pay $1K for the Honda box.

any chance you can post a link to the photos or do an updated post?? Looks just like what I'd like to have.

I mean no disrespect at all.

Just curious... No paint? Does the box get too hot?

Now that is cool! I wish the guy next to me on the last trip had one of those.
