Default Time for a new battery.What brand?
Needing a new battery and was wondering what everyone recommends.Looking at Oem Harley,Drag Specialties and Twin power.The Drag and Twin are both 500 cca while Harley's is only around 400 cca.All are about the same price.

Just bought one myself today. Always keep them on a tender over winter. Last 3-4 years.

Did the research and installed the gyz32hl yesterday; got it from Amazon. Has nice finger slots for an easy install. The bolts supplied were a little short and they don't have the slot for the main battery cables but it worked fine and turned my RK over easy enough. $139 shipped prime which was okay.
