[Rob B]

Here are the details, that someone supplied on the 851 board for the KTM option....

"All measurements are inside the KTM battery holder:

Height - 105mm
Width - 114mm
Depth - 61mm

I mounted the box using one of the KTM holes and I drilled one new hole. I used a 6mm Pro-Bolt fairing bolt and washer (I'm a Pro-Bolt dealer), a 6mm plastic spacer and the OEM Ducati rubber bushing from the OEM battery holder. I moved the starter relay and mounted it to the engine on the bottom OEM battery holde post. I attahced the "big fuse" with to zip ties to the radiator brace; I put a piece of foam between thee fuse and the brace.

The KTM part numbers are as follows: KTM battery holder #58111076000 $4.15; Rubber straps to hold battery in place (you'll need 2) #50303018000 $4.54. Call Chip Munn of Munn Racing in Waco, TX, they are my KTM dealer (even though I live in VA). The parts are dirt cheap, give it a try!

My YTZ7S battery will arrive in 2/3 weeks. I may add a brace to the bottom battery mount after I install the battery and see how stable the whole thing is."
