Batteries: What are some of the smallest?

[TenTwelve]

I want the smallest battery possible to hide it in the rear cowl. What are some suggestions?

kick or electric start?

Benjie from BenjiesCafeRacers told me that the smallest battery they have found that will turn the electric starter etc... and fit under their cowl is a battery from an Yamaha R1. Proteal55 said that he used a battery from a Honda 919.

The honda batt is roughly 4x4x6 ish... maybe a hair bigger. The R1 battery is taller and a little slimmer. Just do a google search for those two... get some measurements and then make a mock-up with wood or foam to see what fits your cowl better. Good luck.

whats smallest for a kick only bike?

I get away with only 2.4 amps. They are three small batteries that are about the side of a cassette tape.
