Here is a bobbed Rebel 250. See all the space under the seat? I think the battery lives in the black area just ahead of the rear tire.

Also (to save posts) is a cycle ergo shot of my 6'1" self sitting on a Rebel 250 with the seat 17" above the ground. You can see that extending the swingarm several inches and pegs as far forward as possible may not be too bad.
