Thanks for all the replies
.
That photoshopped idea wouldn't work though as the seat is where the
controller is, that area's simply too small to fit anything in there.
And I was planning to fit the controller (and maybe even charger) where
the tank is.
The specs of the battery says it doesn't require any topping up of
water, so I just assumed that meant it wasn't flooded.
It claims a silicone solution that suppresses sulfation.
This is the page if anyone's interested, everything's in japanese though.

I guess I'll give them a call and ask if it's ok before proceeding any
further.
Though I might not have the space for the 3rd battery at all. Made a
mockup mount for the engine, and it pushed the batteries forward
slightly. I've not made the battery trays yet, but after considering the
cabling and insulation, it looks rather tight.

I bought an NSR 80 to convert but decided to go with a bigger bike.
My only question is would it be a bad thing to have 1 battery lying
flat instead of sitting upright?
Like this?

I see the guys beat me to that answer too. So how 'bout this:

Move everything down so that the motor is inline with the swingarm
then put the third battery up on top and the controller in back.
The .psd file is in that same directory if anyone else wants to play
with it.
It's a really SMALL bike but I'd still like to have 36volts in it.

Nice helmet and cape.
Glad you joined the list! I was reading your blog just the other day.
Well, the English part anyway.
