what are you running now? Do you have room for aux batteries? (you probably will need them unless the comp is pretty short). Out of curiosity what is your charging system?

With that kind of wattage may be a very good move to have 2 Batteries in Parallel and the highest Amp Charging that will fit might want to check on Police Bike Charging system ..

Well first off I think you're outside the performance envelope of a single bike battery and stock charging system. A dedicated battery or 2 for your amps is likely called for. Considering the power you want to put out and space/density available on a bike I'd look to lithium vs. AGM. You might also want to consider a bank of caps.

Either run 2 insane asylum 40ah batteries or 2 of the limitless lithium nano hd batteries. The insane asylum batteries will let you play for longer though.

I'm using a Limitless NanoHD under the seat and a Limitless blue 15 aH in pack.

SD 2400
SD800 x 2
SD3000
I get sufficient playing time out of it. Hit me up if you have any questions.
