Battery disconnect question

Oka'y so I'm at a campground in Nowhere Swamp Louisiana...they have killer racoons here...and croc-a-gators and other molesting creatures so it's difficult to focus on changing the battery out when you're being attacked all the time...besides...my only tools are a hachet and hammer...now what do I have to do to modify the battery box? I figure I could just take the hachet and trim the fins on the battery (probably better than beating down inside the thing. I almost got it done but I think it would have been easier if I would have removed the seat first .

Actually, I'm going to wait until tomorrow when I have some light and it's not 40 below.

Thanks for all the help guys...I have faith now I can make it work...whether it wants to or not!

If they read these forums they would have changed the rear shocks, wired the headlights around the ignition switch, designed it for a small CAR BATTERY, made the 7% power reduction switchable and found a new tire manufacturer.

Ray here...still out there wandering around....

I know it's been asked before but I don't get it...I'm getting ready to swap out batteries in my R3T (Odyssey PC625 for the OEM battery). On a previous post here I read that if you disconnect the battery the computer will keep the tune but lose the odometer....is that true?... all of the odometer readings? ....including the overall milage on the bike?
Somehow I just can't imagine losing the overall odometer reading...you can see the implications here.

Just looking for clarifications here and any OBTW's (Oh-By-The-Way's).

Thanks
Wandering guy here in Louisana I think...(at least they're selling croc-a-gator heads and stuff in the gas stations!. Way cool.
