SWEET! How about some more pics and info on how you re-located it.

Thanks!

Is that the stock battery or a smaller one? Did you make the box yourself?

I made a stainless steel box lined with foam,used a stock yfz450 battery,and mounted in between the frame rails. I ran the wiring harness up and towards the front and mounted the solenoid and the fuse block in the front by the steering stem. I made new cables to run to the engine block and to the solenoid. I fabed up some box mounts to be attached to the lower rear a arm mounts.
I have ran a similar set up on my 04 yfz for the last 2 years and have had no problems mounting in that location. The batteries seem to last longer (2 years and counting) and did not have problems with the batery falling out like i did when it was in the stock location. A big plus is getting the solenoid and the fuse block in behind the plastic where it is out of the elements.

Here's a left side view

looks like a lot better location. i hope the mounting works out. suzuki should have come up with something like that from the beginning.

Look at where the rear of the bottom a-arm bolts up. You can see how he created a mounting bracket that bolts there and is part of a metal box that holds the battery. You can also see the metal hold down strap with a bolt through it.
