I never thought about putting a ES on my Norton but thanks to GP and everyone here helping me to get back on my Norton and giving in the way I be able to ride my Norton and with a missing leg how I be able to start it, so Sunday I sat up in the shed, with a few cold beers to help with my thinking and where I be able to mount a big battery for the starter kit.
I love my round alloy oil tank and where it mounts across the and under the tool tray of the Featherbed frame, and not much room to fit a larger battery.
Well just before I was thinking more about it and I still have the original right side Featherbed oil tank, it also holds more oil than my round alloy tank so thinking I could re install that oil tank and mount the big battery behind the oil tank on the left side, I no longer have the original battery box, have the cover for it, but I could make a battery tray for what ever size battery I need for the ES so I think I have solved the battery problem, but I do love my round alloy oil tank it just look right for my bike and it's also light.
As it is I need to fully rewire my Norton for the ES as I have very min wiring on my Norton (with the Joe Hunt) and I might have to make a new tool tray that sits under the seat, but I have done that before, I ran with the original oil tank for over 30+ years without any problems with it, it's been over 15 years ago when I mounted the alloy round oil tank.

Definitely a grand adventure afoot with installing this kit Ashley. I just finished installing mine a month back and big learning for me. In fact when it comes to the battery, if you go with one of those Shorai batteries, they are quite small and light compared to the standard lead acid batteries and with a minimum of 270CCA needed for the starter, you could probably get away with tighter spaces.
