Hi,
always a problem this one, how far a compromise to make?
??
I've been through all this myself, if you keep starter you need the great big flywheel and stator, which means cutting a hole in fairing to allow engine case to stick out, then you keep grinding through it going around corners, plus you need a decent sized battery to start it.
but if thats the way you want to go it can just about be done . I ran a starter in our first seasons racing, although very quickly removed it all.
You should just about get a cbr1000 late model battery under seat hump, this battery is a good rating for its size. and will start bike
use a replacement rectifier/reg pack instead of the old contraption, its easier to tuck away, and the starter solenoid can also just about about be put under seat too. remember to use a decent size cable to supply starter, and from solenoid to battery, this is harder to hide but a little perseverence and little black cable ties etc.
a couple of customers of mine have been fairly successful with these little lithium ion batterys, they are light as a feather and tiny, one chap fitted one under swing arm near swing arm pivot, and another in a tray under seat. but I am not wholly convinced of them just yet, as i have seen some fail to maintain their ability over short time, but this could be due to lack of use, so i am still to be convinced.
any question contact me
