Hi Everyone
I need to relocate my battery and was wondering if anyone has put it under the gas tank? I will be running pod filters and this leaves a bunch of room under the tank for a battery. The bike has a new tail fitted and a café style seat now, so there is no room where it was. I thought about mounting near the swing arm but the space under the tank, space wise and visually seems a better option.
I have concerns about doing this but cant really come up with a good reason why I cant put it there
I will make sure it is mounted and insulated correctly. I have already begun fabricating the mount and it fits perfectly but I still feel unsure about the location.
I would love to hear what everyone thinks on this. My main concern is a battery that close to the tank, but the coils are just as close and I'm not worried about that? If you have any pics of your solution or if you have done this I would love to see it.
Will try to get some pics up soon.
Cheers
