Why not go on the Yuasa website and see if they give dimensions? If you get a smaller battery make sure it has plenty of cranking power to turn over your motor.
Keep on keepin' on.

I believe the gel batteries are smaller and have the same CCA or more than the lead acid batteries, they're often used in race bikes and custom bikes, worth a look at.
