Hi All,
What batteries do you use in your KB1s? Do people favour two 6V batteries connected in series? Or two small 12V batteries in parallel? What are the part codes for the batteries? At the moment I have seen the 6V 6N6-3B that look as though they will fit.
Thanks,

My Bimota KB1 is a German specification machine with two batteries mounted in the Hansel fairing.
The bike came with two Fulbat FB5L-B batteries.
I'm looking for an equivalent battery, as this size is not sold in the US.
The correct size is 60mm wide, and the Yuasa YB5L-B battery is 70mm wide.
I have been unable to locate any battery in the US that fits.
Buying two on eBay, the shipping from France would be more than the battery.
