I know why it's located there, but who ever designed the wire routing and the cover for the battery box needs a kick in the balls.

That is all.

Thanks for your time.

Yep!
installed a shorai battery recently. it weights 2 lbs and much smaller than stock. used the supplied foam to fit it in the box nicely. battery is placed there for a reason. you want that weight low and closer to the front.
I don't argue the placement, just the huge pain in the ass that it is getting the battery box cover replaced with all the wiring in the way.

battery always measure @ 13.1x volts now. starter seems a little stronger but I've never had an issue with the OEM hot(105F) or cold (32F).

lithium iron is suppose to hold its charge for long periods but I always plug in a battery tender during the 'cold' months while I ride bikes with fairings.
Thanks Fast!
So what is the difference in weight? Weight loss has a lot of appeal.

I order that 'standard' one recommended for a 990 adv. they have an option for one with a higher amp/reserves.

I read somewhere that shorai is out of stock until may.
We mounted ours under the seat actually. Here's two shots if you're curious
GO-GO that makes you a better KTM engineer IMO,,,,,who would have thought to "put it under the seat"
