on the FJR, for some inane reason they stuck the battery up in the fairing. That is a lot of weight up high. To me that would be the perfect place for a light weight battery like one of these new tech batts. I picked up one at the shop the other day and I'm telling you it weighed nothing. Like holding air. It was incredibly light.
I think Flynrider has gone to an LI battery and is very pleased with it. He lives in the desert though where the heat kills AGM batts very quickly.
Same on my F800GT. They put the fuel tank underneath the seat, then plopped the heavy AGM up where the fuel tank is normally located.
