Has anyone tried one of these?? (See attached picture) I'm wondering if it will work for my set up. I am running stock TCI (with possible gonzo mod in the future), kickstart with headlight and tail light (blinkers in the future).

I am working with very limited space and need the smallest battery possible. I figure I don't need many CCA since I'm not running electric start.

Opinions?

What are the dimensions of battery shown and what dimensions do you have to work with? Stock stator too?

The dimensions of the battery shown are 4.49" x 2.80" x 3.39". I built my electronics box around an Anti Gravity 801 that measures 4.25" x 2.25" x 3.75". I have a little wiggle room but not much.

The whole ignition system is stock from a 1980 XS.

RD series Yamahas had a similar charging system (to XS) but with points ignition and kicker only. They ran a 12V 5.5ah battery. Perhaps a better choice if the size works
