Are you using? Working out ok? Any horror stories? Any good deals out there? 

I heard it's not that great in the cold
I have a Shorai one. It does not work in the cold plain and simple absolute zero crank. Would i do it again? Nope too much of a pain in the ***. It is light as hell and fits just like a regular battery though.

Sorry, didn't mean to scare the old guySo, could I put you down under "horror stories"?
I have a shoari as well but the bigger one, 18 something in the model name. Works just fine in the cold to start my FZ1, but I do leave the key on so the headlight is on while im putting on my gear. Seems to work a bit better that way. Had mind for at least 3 years and just leave it in the bike during winter hooked up. Starts right up in the spring.
the shorai, does get stronger as you crank, i stab at mine several short bursts in the cold and it fires up. and its a 7ah in a 1000cc
I had one in my race bike and end up putting the regular one back on - once they die once it is impossible to get them back to full power.
On a street bike I wouldn't waste my money on it
Is it a street bike? why do you need the weight reduction?They are pricey but I think I can justify it as I have three bikes (can only ride one at a time amirite?) that call for the same battery capacity. Also I added about 10lbs. of frame bracing on one bike, I'd like to get that back.

After putting the bike on the trailer I pushed the kill switch and forgot to turn the ignition off, couple of hours later the battery was dead, charged it with the appropriate charger but never really worked well againWhy not? It's cheaper than buying horsepower mods.
How did the unit in your race bike bit the dust? The only problem is older bikes with charging system not putting enough volts out. Other than that, you will not save weight in more effective way. Sure, on some heavy pig street bike 6 or so pounds won't matter, but on other bikes it will make a difference, especially on top heavy bikes with battery right under your seat.
I liked the result on my bke.
