Nightster Battery Replacement
Maybe a few of you old pros can help a new HD owner. Just purchased a new (to me) 2007 Nightster. Sweet deal, perfect condition, only 1,800 miles. Only problem is that I need to pick up a new battery before I pick up the bike in a week and a half.
I know a lot of you guys are all about HD branding, but anybody use any other brand of battery? Not necessary trying to get the cheapest thing on the market, but I wouldn't complain if I saved a little bit. Was looking at a Yuasa Maintenance Free Battery but wasn't sure if anybody had any experience with them. Heard good things when I was riding a sport bike instead of a Harley.
Thanks for the help!

Deka battery from eBAy for $68.16 shipped.
Another Deka battery branded as a Big Crank for $74.95 shipped from Battery Mart.
Deka makes the HD battery and is sold under a few different names.

Thing is people say "Well Deka makes it for HD." Fair enough. Just because it came from the same factory don't mean it has the same specs. Check the specs first. Deka probably makes for quite a few other people but the spec might be different. Check the reputation online.
