    Anyone ever thought of moving battery box at all? Or actually done it?

    When I was considering a while back,about extending tank range on the Vision...considered a dinky lithium battery ,behind the front panel.

    theres a few complications that I think youd run into.
    you could extend the wiring and hide the battery behind the front panel. but is it really worth all that effort?
    I moved a battery before so it was pretty much inbetween my feet as the box had broke and it was dangling off the back off of one of the many scooters ive owned... all I did was get some wire from another scooter, two o ring connectors either side of the wire, one end on normal battery connector and the other on battery. covered in shit loads of electric tape. not something id sujjest doing though... only in a absolute emergency or if your in india maybe.

    don't do what I said.
    its very dangerous. irresponsible. could potentially set fire to your scooter and not work at all.
    I just did it because im a idiot and wanted to ride my £90 scooter home.
