    No personal experience, but the lithium-based Ballistic has greater claimed CCA power compared to an OEM lead-acid battery.

    "[our] 6.9Ahr 12 Cell EVO2 is on par with a 20AHr lead acid battery in actual performance"

    Most guys who use these do so for the weight savings and to save/create space for additional equipment.

    The only downside that this product have is that you must take it out every time from the bike in order to recharge it.

    I'd like to add a +1 for a request to AL for a motorcycle specific kit. I'll be adding a 1 head system with the BT and STIR integration module ... lots of little boxes to hide around the bike! Also, I hear the main control module is not waterproof ... one more problem to work around.

    Open to suggestions from other motorcyclists who've installed the system. I am from Seattle, so protection from rain is crucial!

    Having shorter sensor cables would make the install much easier for most sport bikes, I'm lucky in that I have a decent amount of room under the seats, but I would think that a shorter cable option package wouldn't be too much of a burden on the manufacturer, especially if done as a custom order with an additional lead time acknowledged by the purchaser. I thought about cutting and splicing myself, but the warranty problem deterred me.

    I shrinked my Li cables with this tool , no issues and easy to do.
    Perhaps you can ask the manufacturer if he accepts to keep the warranty valid ...
