P700 Replaced the little YB14 Battery

Yesterday, Sunday 10 October 2021, I replaced the little YB14 Motorcycle battery in the 2018 Honda Pioneer 700M2, with a group 26 automotive battery. I used the Youtube video by Jack of All Master of None with a few changes (https://youtu.be/JN2fPcHcegE). He used a Yellow top Optima Battery, I used a Group 26-1 Walmart battery, I used 5 gage wire he used 6 gage wire. I did use the same battery box and the same type welded braces. I drilled and tapped the frame to relocate the oil fil and mount the battery box with metric Honda bolts. Total cost was around $140.00 including the battery.

I'm new here, but that seems a whole lot better than adding and keeping the small battery.

How is it for cold weather starts now? Mine is nasty with the stock 14 battery in my 2019 700-4. This weekend I’ll have this same setup installed with a group 47 battery.
