Battery relocation
Does anyone know where they screw the aluminium battery box into when relocating it to the front right hand side where the expansion bottle is?

Re: Battery relocation
I don't have a clear picture of it, this is the best I have
Essentially I shaved ~1mm or (whatever the thickness of the battery box was) off the engine mounting spacer and then the other end fits between head and rad. I also mounted the solenoid into the battery box and shortened both leads[1] along with rewiring the bike to move everything round, CDI is now under the front subframe along with fuse box, RHS switch gear is still on the original connector so that if it gets smashed I can just buy/borrow a replacement rather than have to rewire something. Druid [1] Although from memory it made <100g difference, you may not want to bother

Re: Battery relocation
The reason I'm doing it is to use a CBR1000RR tail fairing nothing to do with weight saving just want it to look nice
