I have a 70 CB100 in the works and want to place the battery between the rails under the seat.
Is there any reason that I can't use this battery since it is kick start, don't need any CCAs, and really only need to run the lights? Or is this going to cause some seam at the edge of the universe to rip apart and suck us all through a black hole?
I never have; quick solution to the charging issue you mentioned. What would happen if the charging system was disconnected? Like I said, open trying things and making mistakes, but want to minimize risk at the same time.
Nothing would happen. Youd just have to charge it. But also your lights will be dimmer because they are not getting the constantly added current from the charging system. If your entire charging system is functioning properly (regulator and rectifier included) there is no reason to run your battery at total loss.

Honestly, it's a CB100 that sits about a foot and a half off the ground; don't really see myslef riding too much at night or much more than just around town and the occassional gathering.
I hear ya, but it's less than $20 for a proper battery and the wiring on the 100 is SIIIMPLE. No point in doing half a job just because you probably, maybe, most likely but perhaps not won't use it. Ya know?
I got you, I had it kicking around and I'm a cheap-skate (you know, married with children and all) I'll do it the right way; usually do in the end. Plus it fits perfect between the rails. I'll look at your ebay link later and see if I can't find the same demensions.
