I've had a Ballistic 8-cell LiFePO4 battery in my GSX-R750 for a couple of years now. I'm very happy with it.....I never need to charge it in the off-season; I really like the fact that it's 5-6 lbs lighter than the standard battery; it starts the bike reliably in the weather I typically ride in (i.e. not cold).
What bothers me is the fact that since the battery is physically smaller than the original, I'm forced to wedge in 4 pieces of foam to somewhat support it on the battery tray. This rubs me the wrong way, since it's a crude solution. I've looked for a way to possibly use tie wraps to secure it, but there are no convenient holes to utilize, and I'm reluctant to drill any new ones.
Has anyone come up with a more elegant solution to this (admittedly minor) situation?
