Marcin,

I'm not sure an Odyssey PC680 is a good fit for both mechanical and electrical reasons. It's the first Odyssey I considered when my battery failed.

Here are instructions for modifying and installing a PC535 in an '09 R1200R (mine). viewtopic.php?f=20&t=18938

The PC535 in my bike has provided strong, reliable cranking at temperatures down to 30℉ for close three and a half years now. I don't use a charger until the temperatures are down to the low 40's. The bike never fails to start even after snows and cold have kept it in the garage for weeks.

Good luck whatever you choose.

Liam
