Appreciate that guys. Just really only want to help when and where I can. Gan your always going to be the man. Slye is just another audio guy. LOL!!!!
On the battery topic, I have the Yuasa and really after 3 amps now it works good still but really thinking I may snag a Braille battery and see if it does any better. Other than that as Gann stated hopefully someone will figure out a way to make a 75 amp stator if even possible. Till then the cycle electric is the only upgrade and that's for earlier touring bikes. I am fairly positive my 12 is 50 amp and that started in 09 iirc. So even then the cycle electric isn't an upgrade unless you have a failure.

I went with the Yuasa as well, 500 CCA. What are the specs on the Braille? I know someone with a 2012 that I was told upgraded his stator, but if you guys haven't heard of an upgrade than it must not exist. I'll ask him today, and get back with you.

Batteries are normally rated by CCA or cold cranking amps. This dam thing is rated by PCA or Pulse cranking amps and that number is 1380. So, I thought to myself WTF? LOL!! Had not heard of "Pulse" cranking amps before so I looked it up. Turns out it's basically the same as CCA only the term they use is "Hot cranking amps" instead of cold cranking amps. In other words if your bike doesn't start with this dam thing. It ain't the battery!! LOL!! Anyway, I have a YUASA as well. Got it a couple years ago on the way back from Miami per Slye's recommendation. Actually Haze, T and myself all got Yuasa batteries that year. It's been a great starting battery but in all honesty I think my stock Harley battery lasted longer for my sound system. Might invest in the braille as well!

I was reading about that B3121 in spongers pic and it appears to be a flat out beast!!!
