Slimline/sealed battery for the Darmah

Hi peoples, I am a newbie to the forum!

I searched for this topic but could not find anything (so, sorry if there is a thread covering it and I was to stupid to find it!).

The battery in my '78 Darmah is cactus so am looking to replace it. The battery currently in it seems incredibly large for a kick start bike! Therefore I was thinking of cleaning things up a bit and losing a bit of weight by installing a nice slim, sealed (or gel) battery instead.

Has anyone done this? Does anyone have any recommendations or specs for the battery I would require?

cheers
Stew

no electric starter on your bike? Kick ONLY?
