Hello,
New owner of a 2007 Breva 750 here. Only 6,200 miles on the bike and I am not sure if that is a good thing. I hope to ride it someday but I am working through some electrical issues. It came with a Shorai battery. I purchased the Shorai charger and added the MPH Cycle Starter Relay Kit. But, the battery is not wanting to take a charge. A new battery may be needed and since I just spent $75.00 for the Shorai Charger I will probably get another Shorai battery.
I want to add a battery disconnect switch and was wondering if anyone has experience with this style?

From the overkill department.... I installed this battery disconnect on my Eldorado, substantial switch, could probably isolate a locomotive power plant

I am not familiar with that type of cutout, but it looks like it would do the job. I use a 125a resettable marine breaker like this one (only in 125a). I prefer marine grade stuff in the bikes whenever practical.

I gather all grounds on one side and then connect the other side to the battery. This is more expensive than yours, but it gives me the added comfort of massive short control.
