Description
The RHAAS Kawasaki 440 & 550 Small Battery Conversion Plate is a clever engineering solution that opens up new possibilities for vintage Kawasaki builds by allowing you to install a compact, lightweight 14-size battery in place of the heavier factory unit. This conversion plate is machined from 6061 aluminum and finished with a durable powder coat for excellent protection against the marine environment. More importantly, the design includes adjustable positioning – you can shift the battery forward or backward as needed to gain critical clearance for conversion motors, driveshaft upgrades, or custom cooling solutions.

Weight reduction and clever packaging are hallmarks of high-end Kawasaki stand-up builds, and this small battery conversion plate is a key component for achieving both. By moving to a lighter 14-size battery and positioning it flexibly, builders gain both weight savings and the space needed for engine conversions, fuel system upgrades, or cooling improvements. This plate represents the kind of thoughtful engineering that separates a good build from a great one, and it is an essential tool for anyone working on a serious vintage Kawasaki project.
