Easy way to lighten your bike some, lithium battery

Just got one for my CBR500r and it is only 2 lbs! A little more expensive at $140 but has a neat feature that shuts off the batt when it gets under 70%, you hit a reset button to activate and away you go, nice if your bike sits for awhile with the alarm on like mine.
