Battery
I know Want/need a AGM battery. But where do I find the best battery for my 2014 FLHTK. Mine has gotten to where when starting the Boom Radio starts all over again. So I think it is time. I thought I read something on here a month ago about a battery with 550 CCA but I can not find it. Could someone point me in the right direction for a good battery that will last more the 27 months.
Thanks for the Help

Offshore, our techs want nothing but Yuasa. They get abused, shorted out, rapidly charged, and on it goes but take it all better than most other brands.
Thats hardly an endorsement for a relatively babied scenario like motorcycle use but thats my experience with Yuasa and thats why I use em. No disappointments so far but in fairness, my current battery hasn't been in service all that long. They aren't crazy expensive either.

I had trouble finding one here in San Antonio and didn't want to pay the price at the dealer . I later found out that Batteries Plus sells decent batteries and bought one for my 2011 ultra. It turned out to be a good battery that also had a good warranty. Seems like an unlikely place for a motorcycle battery but they have them.

Yuasa in my mind is the benchmark.
I just installed one a couple weeks ago in my 14. Wish I did it sooner, night and day difference. I only paid $136, price went up $6 but I see another seller selling for the same price.

Be careful buying batteries from Amazon, I've read some people are having a hard time to get their warranties covered. +1 on the Yuasa GYZ32HL, 500 CCA. If you order them thru RevZilla, show them the Amazon price and they should match it, plus you won't have any issues with returns or warranties.

My OEM battery tested OK but the bike always seemed to start slow. Changed it out with a Yuasa and now it starts like I knew it should and the Boom box does not reboot. I think the OEMs are just marginal at best.
