how to get to battery???

[No_import4me]

Okay guys I just bought a 2004 xb12r yesterday - first Buell. I got home today from work started it up and let it run for a while. Turned off the bike left the lights on for only about 15 minutes and went to start it back up to move it into the garage and wouldn't start just a loud clicking noise from the starter. So i need to know how to get to the battery - what needs to come off to get to it. Just one more i am coming from a import bike and must say my Buell is the best machine i have had.

In case you dont find it:
Peel up the back corners of your seat. There is a T27 on each side, then slide the seat up and back. There is the battery. It is just a rubber strap holding it in.

Edit: I am glad you like your bike. It is pretty fun. Go buy alot of T27 bits.
