    Just to clarify - I do not make these batteries. I know the guy who does and can attest to the quality and workmanship of his packs. I'm running them in a couple of my bikes and they perform very well. If anyone is interested in a Lithium pack I can get you in contact with the right guy!

    Of course I meant that but they would have to go through you to get them.

    The 2up session is the last novice session at Sportbike Track Time. We blew past a few of the novices as well. :biggrin:
    The riding coaches at STT always give us a big thumbs up after the session. In the past year we have done a dozen sessions 2up. She loves it!

    There are some couples that I know that are faster riding 2up on the street than I am riding solo. Ha!

    Ok guys got my new battery and man its so small its cute! But seriously it is very well made it weights in at a whopping 1.45lbs ans cranks this sucker without even breaking a sweat. So my hat is off to Dan gregg the man behind this thing. For the price it can't be beat.

    Does it come with a charger? I saw something similar to this on Sport Rider magazine this month.

    You sure as hell can't beat the price!

    Nah it didn't come with a charger. But the battery tender will still wire to it.

    I've been looking for one of those tiny batteries for my bike too....but I'd need it to have a bit larger capacity for my everyday riding.

    Matt...how is it fitment wise? You have to put something around the battery to keep it secure in the battery tray?

    Why would you need more capacity? Already comes out of the box with 240cca. Figment was awesome my battery box is now a storage box, taking weight off the bike is the best thing you can do to one.

    From the antigrav website:
    They recommend:
    12v 6.9Ah
    12-cell Lithium Motorsports Battery
    2.25 lbs 360 CCA


    Would be nice when I'm on long road trips and far far away from home.

    Most motorcycles will start using a 4-cell pack, what Matt bought is an 8-cell. For everyday riding that's what I would suggest using (it's what I have in my bikes). It's nice to have the extra just to be safe.

    Keep in mind that the Lithium pack will be significantly smaller than your stock battery so you would need to fill the voided space with foam or something to secure the battery in place.

    For now the guy wants me to coordinate battery requests (like I didn't have anything else to do). Shoot me an e-mail if you are interested and I'll relay it to him.

    Ok fellas here the low down for my new R/R & VFRness today looks great awesome quality but dumbass me didn't order a stator plug the one on the bike is burned up real bad so needless to say it needs a new one. Also not sure how many of you have been fallowing the 5th coil on plug thread but I gotta give rangerscott props for the great job he's done on that conversion. I myself will be doing the same thing snagged a set of coil off fleabay for a big 15 bucks and the clips for another 11 bucks the coils are off of a 08 CBR 1000 when they arrive ill post up some more info.
