I am using a lightweight Li ion battery Antigravity brand same size as a 12v lantern battery weighs about 3.5 lbs.
Relocated to the left side on the rear cross member. Stock cables reach easily just have to move the ground strap (battery (-) to frame) to a new location on the frame. Plenty to chose from.
Fabricated a simple tray that bolts down to existing threaded holes in the cross member. Battery is held down to tray with a cinch strap. For 3.5lbs, you don't need more than that for a hold-down.
Cons: This is not a great location heatwise because of proximity to exhaust. Suggest putting heat shield arount the battery.
