Very few of them used on this bike.The nut that goes into the battery connection terminal. It decided to fall out just as I pulled the battery out with that nifty little strap. When I say 10mm I refer to the size of wrench, not the size of the threads.
One neat feature of the Shorai, which is new, is that they dispensed with that nut and build the threads directly into the terminals.
That LiFe battery is very, very light, saved me over 6 pounds, the weight of a gallon of gasoline and then some.
The charge on it as shipped was about 13.35 volts. The CB's charging system is ideal for that battery.
The largest nut on my bike is attached to the handlebars, at least when it's moving.
