Depends.

In Thailand, what happens for me today may not be what happens for you tomorrow.

I was able to buy one with a Tourist Visa, but I've known some expats who were rejected.  I was also able to get a driver's license.  Give it a shot.  All they can say is 'no'.

Just curious why you require such a high amperage. Are you running extra accessories, higher compression etc? The 1700 uses a 14A gel cell,

The bike had starting issues when I bought it used. There was a 14 amp battery in there initially, and it just wasn't getting it done.  I added a Thunderfire Starter, MaxAir flame wires and either 18amp or 20amp battery. Starting issues are gone.

I wish I could find a gel battery in Thailand.

It really isnt, i got it right in front of me and is just over/roughly 2x1 dm.
The socket goes under the seat or wherever.
The most suitable places i've located on my bike was on top of the box, or on top of the front wheel

I can picture it mounted between my running lamps and front fender perpendicular to the front wheel.  I'll have to think about this.  Didn't realize it was 7" high though.
