Hi all I am looking to find a smaller sized battery to run on my 76 CB360 and I have narrowed it down to two choices keep in mind I am planning on running led brake/turn signals an h4 headlight and the bike will be kick start only and will also have the rickmotorsports hot shot charging kit. With that said would it be better to run this Shorai battery http://www.shoraipower.com/p-146-lfx07l2-bs12.aspx or this antigravity batttery http://shop.antigravitybatteries.com/antigravity-batteries-ag401/ thanks for the input
Just Another Battery Question

I have 2 of the Shorai batteries in my bikes. One small one (I think the 7 or 9A/Hr model) in my kick-only XS650 and the biggest meanest one they make for my BMW R75 (I actually won that one, didn't shell out the $350 they cost). Like them both and have had no problems with either.
I don't know much about the Antigravity, other than many of the new lithium motorcycle batteries use basically the same cells. Shorai describes theirs as being different.
The Antigravity unit is very small compared to the Shorai, particularly thin. So if you needed to slide it in flat somewhere, it's a good choice.
Either would be fine. If you went with Shorai, I'd consider spending the extra $15 and jump to the 9A/Hr version which is exactly the same size (case #2) as the 7. Shorai makes all the way up to a 14A/Hr 210cca model in that same case. I think they figure that's as small as anyone really needs so why bother with the expense of a smaller case for the lower capacity models.

Once I take some measurements of where I want to place my battery I will probably get the 9A/Hr Shorai I have heard pretty much only good things about them space just might be and issue so I am still hesitant because it would be very tight which makes the antigravity so tempting.
