Yep that's it . The software several online outfits use like Jireh is weak at best and doesn't catch a third of what they really have and frankly is a pain in the *** to use or search . Always download the full catalog , you'll be happier .

I didn't see any battery specs in there for the agm batteries, where did you find the specs for the Ultima battery? Don't take this the wrong way, I am in no way trying to imply that you are wrong. I just want to see a spec sheet before I order a new battery for my bike. I don't have a lot to spend on the thing this winter, but a new bigger battery that doesn't drop down to 8 volts when I push the starter button is one of the things on the list.


Here is the e-mail I got from Jireh:

Deryck,

This is Ben from Jireh cycles. To order call toll free 877-681-0448. Here are the specs for the battery part number 1-141:

AH 28
CCA 280
L 6.0"
W 5.125"
H 6.5"


Regards,


Ben

I'm wondering exactly the same thing. I want an AGM battery for my '75 FLH and if I'll order a battery from US to Finland, Europe, I just want to be 100% sure about the size too

They'll compare this battery to OEM 66007-84 and first google search gave the size :
Length8.13 Width5.25 Height6.5


So perhaps Ben just made a typing error or they'll replace this original size battery with 2 inch shorter...

Default DO NOT recommend Jireh cycles

I signed up merely to add that due to advice continuously given while searching for the best battery for my FLH, I attempted to buy this recommended sealed Ultima battery from this JIREH CYCLES..

..I have mailed and called them several times upon placing and completing order, and have heard NOTHING from them. no response to telephone, emails, nothing...that they have my ccard info and all is disconcerting.

VERY frustrated and absolutely DO NOT recommend...do not waste your time. I don't care what their excuse may be.

I am not a forum person..been there, done that..but i thought I needed to make mention for others considering them.

Regards
