I chooped, and modded my bike, got allot of sh*t stuffed where the battery goes. I run a Shorai after getting the advice from guys on this site. Little pricier than a regular battery, but cranks strong, problem free........plus huge space saver.

Subscribe, I need a small battery for my 2010 Fatboy Lo as well. For the same reason. Need room for PCV and some other stuff down there. I'm squashing everything when I sit.

OEM 6-7/8" (L) x 3-5/16" (W) x 6-1/8" (H)

I have been running the Ballistic Lithium...Old battery was cranking really slow, and needed extra space under seat for my PCIII

I went with 16cell instead of smaller unit because I have a removable fairing.

Cranks really fast compared to my old battery.

To add... It was tight getting into space, had to loosen fuse box and wiring harness on my 04 heritage to drop battery in.... Once its in plenty of room, with old battery I could not get seat on with PC in there.
