Something like a YTX12-BS will be fine, the dimensions are on that
link to MDS Battery too.
If you want to order one, speak to Mike Field and tell him its for a BEC, he'll probably do you a deal because he races in the RGB.

That's a lead-acid battery. Are those the ones to use? I bought a gel cell
like this. What are your thoughts on this one? I liked it because it
stated it was standard for the fireblade and it is increadibly light.

Rog, if you're going to order one (from wherever) give me a shout first - 'cos I need one as well!
I like the sound of the acid-free one, I'm just looking for a link in the UK.

it'll be a while - ive got to get an engine first before I get a battery 
really just wondering if they were all a similar size before i carve a large chunk of aluminium out for it to sit in and find that its too big/small!

I doubt if you'll find an acid-free battery!  
The sealed ones are definitely the best choice. An upsidedown car with battery acid dripping over you and everything else isn't very pleasant.

Bike shop near us has gel filled batteies but they need a trickle charger like the optimate type
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
