Is there any reason you can't put a different style battery on a 650. I'd like to put on a Sportster style battery box with a chrome cover but I'm not sure if the charging system can handle it.

I'm trying to remember but I think my kick start only 77 Sportster battery was about the same size as my XS. I never had electric on one but I think those battery's were pretty big. I think the charging system could handle one but I think it would be unneeded additional weight. I think the smaller size with a chrome cover and strap would look pretty cool.

Thanks Mo,
I was thinking of chopping the bike and building a new battery box down lower than the original. Extra weight would be unneeded but with the effect of lowering the center of gravity it might be worth the trade off.
