So working at a motorcycle shop got me looking at a little item that managed to knock 35lbs off the front left of the engine compartment!

Just gotta work on making it neater! Seems to work great! Bit of a pain with all the stuff connected to the positive side..

Interesting.. Looks like the AlienMotion I have in my KTM625 SMC.  Am I correct in that they don't like to play when the temps are low?

Cool idea!  Keep us updated on your experience with performance and longevity.

This might allow space for a sealed insulated CAI filterbox to avoid heat saturation and get cooler intake air.

Great weight loss idea!  I hope it does well all year (in the cold).

I had a Ballistic brand 16 cell in my 2006 Saturn Ion Redline for over a year.  It started the car in -30 C .. mind you a tad slower.. So these AntiGravity batteries seem to be waaaaay better built. was -10 C this morning outside and fired with zero lag!

it could for sure. I just need to figure how to tuck in in the back left corner of the battery tray.. The stupid positive wire has so much stuff attached to it it does not move at all!

Very nice!  How much did it set you back $-wise?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
