My battery tender lithium ion battery is on it's way. My build is almost done. Weld up the new exhaust, finish under seat tray and tidy up wiring. I tried researching what regulator rectifier to get but the deeper i go down that rabbit hole the more lost I get. Most stuff is talked about the...

I'm looking for a slim Li ion battery I can hide under seat. What's the smallest battery you've run with electric start and gotten away with it?

I read that others have the Petcock activation vacuum hose from one carb to engine boot and that's all fine and dandy. But I have 2? One from each boot?

Trying to locate this seat.
