Default Battery Change video for 2017 Road King special

Aloha,
I'm looking for a how to ( YouTube?) video on how I can change my battery on my 2017 Road King Special. I know it's under the seat ( and to remove the main fuse before I start) but a video of tips would really help,
Mahalo, and keep the rubber side down

Very straightforward. If the battery doesn't have the strap running underneath / around the battery it is fun trying to lift it out. Remember, negative terminal off first.
