Default Cable Upgrade?

I know this is kind of popular in the car world but I wanted to see if anyone has done this here

Upgrading the battery power and ground cables. Mostly it is done for a better grounding (if you running more than the normal bike (like with lights and stuff)

But another idea was because it opens alot of battery options... Being in japan...my battery options are well limited needless to say very limited. your "normal" sportster battery is pushing $190. Honestly screw that, but there as several scooter type batteries that the poles are on the reverse side, i debated just upgrading the cables and running the to use either pole set-up i wanted.

But regardless has anyone upgraded their battery cables?
