I;m thinking of relocating my battery but un sure where, do to space. is there a battery smaller than stock that has around the same C.C.A? I would like to mount it up front.
Don't have any pictures, but mine is mounted ahead of the nerfs, just behind the a-arms, with the bottom of the battery level with the lower frame.........
People will move the battery b/c if they pull the plastics they have no spot to mount the battery or you can make a custom mount in back. Mostly for drag racing I would say
Yea it is slightly larger than the stock battery. It will fit in the stock battery box though. You have modd the factory hold down and make a longer pos battery cable.
Are you refering to the rear plastics for the battery box? I'm not using the rear plastics anymore and will need to fab up a box to mount it either under my seat or up front. Just trying to find a battery small enough to mount in the inside of the frame behind the bumper if that makes sense
Here's my battery box/electronics mounts for now, though the battery part shown is for an Odyssey battery, there's a box for a standard battery on there now:
and a side pic, you can barely see it really from the side, even without plastics. From the rear it hangs down a bit, don't have a pic of that at the moment
Eventually I'd like to move my battery up front. Conserving weight in the rear and moving it forward should help launching when dragging. I don't ride through much crap, so the lower position (where Willy's talking about seems to be the best place) shouldn't be an issue.
Well I thank you all for the info now I just need to figure out where to mount it and i'll be ordering that soon. Another thing I wanted to find out is the better air filter set up. I won't have the air box anymore so any ideas?
I just cut the back, and most the bottom and sides off my airbox and run a prodesign adapter with a K&N. Seems to do the job alright for me, nothin fancy.
