Here are some pics that I found. The original pics in those two threads might be dead. It looks like if the passenger and firewall side of the battery's position are the same, then it might fit. But it will depend on what battery tray are you using at the bottom with the larger battery.

if i remove the roundish plastic cover at the front of the battery i can move the battery forward about 30mm and it should clear.

Yeah, it looks like it should fit even if you don't move it because you have already placed your battery at the same distance from the airbox as the stock smaller battery. Here is a pic of the stock battery with airbox and the stock battery is also located quite close to the airbox like your larger battery. So if the Gruppe M fits with this, it should fit yours with maybe moving the battery forward just a little bit.

well the battery uses the stock clamp no probs and its in the same location (not angled forward or anything)
so im about 90% that it will fit alright. just to be sure that round cover will prob come off
