Hi RZ Group,
I need some help. I had RGV Steve do a R6 SwingArm for my RZV. Swingarm is in and looks great but the battery box does not fit.
So My Question is - Does the Battery Box need to be Re-Located??
Please Let me know - Thanks - Danielthedman

Re: R6 Swingarm on RZV - Battery Box
I moved my battery up under the gas tank. Up by the coil. I made a battery box out of stiff styrofoam and it works great.
I don't run a stock airbox so that gave me the room under the tank.

Re: R6 Swingarm on RZV - Battery Box
I've extended the battery leads and mounted the battery in the tail, just in front of the taillight. I'm using a lithium-ion battery so it can be mounted sideways. Been running my bike like that for about 4 years with no issues.
