Small battery for Bobber Build ?

All you guys that are doing bobber and cafe racer builds , where are you finding smaller batteries and locating them on the bike ?
I have removed the air box and installed a K&N pod filter and like the old school open area .
What have you guys done ?
Thanks A Million

I have battery tender lithium ion 240 cca 8 lbs lighter and 1/3 the size , you need a special charger for it.

Earth-X ETX12A battery.  I bought it in the spring of 2013....and it is still going strong.  My bike doesn't have any clocks or devices that draw power when the ignition is turned off - the battery has not been on a charger or tender in the 5 years I have owned the battery.

I’m using a Battery Tender LiOn battery. Supper small and light. The only down side to a LiOn battery is cold weather performance, but if you’re a fair weather rider the  you won’t have a problem.

Mine has been handling the cold fine.  Even fired it up a few times last winter in the low 30s without issues.  (Though the first battery I received wouldn't even start the bike.)  It will be interesting to see how long it lasts.
