Default battery relocation

Hello gang, gettin ready for riding and need some advice. I have an 1988 model electra glide x poliece bike. The battery is located under all the side bags and stuff. Its drag to get to to charge boost etc. Has anyone relocated their battery to go under the seat? If so how did you do it? Anyone have any ideas how to reconfigure the side configuration to one in the space under the seat? Thanks for reading and the advice. Wont be long until spring......

If you do that where you gonna move your oil tank to?

Just put a battery tender lead on it and route it to where you dont have to take the bag off to get to it!
