I have mine mounted on the firewall. You have baffeling that seal the engine area away from the direct heat of the engine. I believe most or many of the KR's out there have their batteries mounted on the firewall.

I was planning on mounting my battery to the firewall behind the engine, but the battery says to not heat it past 140 F. I am worried the temp may get to hot to mount it there. I could always insulate the box, but will add more weight. Any ideas or info would be great.
