The 2 options that come to mind are :straping tape instead of the stock hold down........or shoegoo your battery hold down strap to the top of your battery.

Yes I know, I shouldn't be hitting things but I'm a noob and I do bump the pipes on occasion.

The battery will either move outwards pushing the front fender out or it will shift inwards, rubbing the belt and putting excess tension on it.

I'm using the intellect 3800 packs which have the "bumps" on the bottom. They aren't wide enough for one thing so the pack can slide left/right about a 1/4 inch. I'm using the stock hold-down strap and screws. Is there a solid alternative or method to keep the battery in place? I don't expect it to stay put if I really clock something hard, but I'd like it to stay put with a small or moderate bump.
