got my mini battery installed

Finally got my Odyssey 680 with metal jacket from ebay.
I used the stock battery tray and drilled one additional hole for the bracket. I didnt even have a drill so I used a screw driver and a screw. LOL
I feel much lighter now

Nice bracket up top, but I thought the other point besides weight savings is to put the battery parallel with the i/c piping to make room for an upper piping similar to Bushcur's or AMS. ?

I made one myself and it cost me about $8. Looks good too. All you need is metal sheers and a drill to make one.

What's the downside of the mini-battery? Short life?

It has short life, but not short life span. It drains down quickly if you leave your lights on (not an issue on the evo).
As with every other mod the main issue is $$$.

Tie down bar was custom made in titanium. this guy had a extra one on his evo and gave it to me. Thats the Blitz boost solenoid, its just a temporary location.

3 week quarantine. They dont accept dogs from Singapore and Malaysia so you should be fine. And pit bulls are illegal in this country.
