finished relocating the battery to the rear of the bike, looks quite tidy and fits in really well.

Looking good mate! Nice use of the rear fender mount as a ground.

What sort of tiny battery is that? Small and lightweight looks like.

That's a pretty diddy battery. I'm looking for something that sort of size for my 650 - what make is it?

its a BAllISTIC EVO2 8 cell lithium ion battery. half the weight of a normal battery but the cranking power is awesome

Did you run a ground strap from the engine to frame ground as well or are you relying on the motor mount bolts? It is probably pretty hard to keep the engine from being grounded to the frame.

yes there is a ground strap from the engine to the frame as well, just to make sure

Very tidy, good job!

I have to agree, very clean install. Battery technology has certainly gone a long way since 1978!
