I agree, D. I actually like your custom better and the Shuriken has a higher cranking amp rating (850) then the Odyssey (680) and is less expensive. I went with the Ody for it's time tested ruggedness with military use. I've also seen these types of batteries mounted behind or under the seats, freeing up the battery well for other mods (intercooler tanks and the like). Just throwing out some food for thought.
