My New Lightweight Battery and Cool Bracket

Just installed this new lightweight battery and bracket.

The battery is a dry cell Odyssey 925 coupled with the Rennline Battery Mounting Kit and the optional Battery Disconnect Switch.

Total cost around $300 with a weight savings of 12lbs?

That's my story and I am sticking to it.

My original battery died and I bought a standard replacement and it died within a week (bad battery) so I returned it and decided to go full tilt.

Tom,
Even if it doesn't feel quicker at the very least it looks good!

Not to my knowledge

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

Deputy, how did you get the full size pic? I am using the standard upload function that places them as thumbnails.

if you don't host them yourself (ie imageshack, etc...), then upload them into 6speed. click on the thumbnail. right click and select properties. "copy" the image location. click on the yellow button with the mountain on it above the text section. paste the image location in the box. that's it. sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. takes about 10 seconds.

Agree.....Odyssey's are not too bad... PC925 can save about 25.........OE=51.....925=26.
