Well, it's a while since I did that, but, if I did it again I would use a Triumph 675 Daytona gel battery, they are tiny & work fine on the SV (as I found out when I fitted the 675 rear end).
Fitting a ZX6 or 10 rear shock will make you realise just how soft the SV suspension is. I noticed the difference just pushing the bike outside to have a ride. You will think that the front is soft then & you will want to stiffen that up too ![]() ![]() ![]()

I fitted the same shock this week. I've decided to relocate the battery all together alongside the front cylinder. I might even go the whole hog and buy a Shorai. It will need a battery holder fabricating, this is for a track bike.
Another solution (my road option) might be to locate the battery on its side in the rear compartment and making some new battery leads up a little longer. Parts for leads are readily available on ebay or from places such as http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu. You will only need a lead to earth and one to the starter solenoid. In this way you can use your original battery. |

I put a 2010 ZX6R shock in my curvy, about the worst place you could have a reservoir...
I cut the battery box to give space for the shock. I cut the battery holder section off the tank pivot. I added a small plastic box spacer ~70mm high, and rested the battery on top of that, with the fuse box moved into the left side tail panel. I also had to take some material off the rider's seat mounting lug as at full compression, this was touching the shock. Works well though... Jambo
