990 mods

[Ti welder]

Has anyone seen anything on putting the batery and oil tank under the seat?? I can see the abs getting in the way...Thinking of getting some of the pork off the front end. Litheum batery saves 6.7 lbs but there has to be a better place for it. The oil tank...there has to be a cooler/ remote res out there. I can't seem to find anything.

Thanks
Scott

Hi Scott!

Have seen a white 990 buzzing around PK and was wondering who that was. (what color is yours btw?)
Nice Bike! Gota go for a spin with ya some day.

There have been some issues with those Lithium-iron, Shorai cells and am not so sure about some of the other brands yet.
I'm sure that you have been lurking around at AVD OC.
The other place to place the battery was under the seat, but with the ABS taking up all that space there is no many other options.

IMO - Wings Exhaust + 2 to 1, would shave off the most weight for ya. (Each stainless can with Cat, weighs over 12 lbs.)

Cheers!

Hey
The idea is to transfer some of the weight to the rear of the bike. No traction and a heavey front end...

Respring the front end. As mentioned, I went from the stock .48s (dirt bike springs) to .64s; no more front end dive, and the front and rear work together.
