006 up has a very tight fitting battery box.

I know in my experience the InterState/Yuasa
would not go in without forcing it,

I sent it back and went with the HD.

I did a lot of research as well,
looking for a high performance unit to crank my hi compression motor.
and I just could not find any hiPower batts to fit into the compartment.
The HD cranks just fine though. no issues.

Also, each manufacturer rates cranking using different formulas,
and they can be very misleading.

With the tight battery boxes, you can typically still get a thin silk ribbon under and between the battery and the box, and the ribbon is usually strong enough to use to pull the battery out. Just tie the ends together on top, and leave enough for a "handle", and next time you need to remove the battery, just pull the ribbon handle to get it out. Has worked for me on other bikes that were tight. Usually, the missus will have some ribbon laying around, and you can use a little of it, maybe a foot to a foot and a half should do, I think.

Note: ALL are AGM sealed batteries.

At my Walmart, those Yuasa batteries are not AGM/sealed...the acid comes in a separate bottle...you have to fill the battery and then charge it before install.

My battery was pretty close to dead today, lasted 7 years (Harley Battery), luckily I work for Interstate batteries and get a pretty hefty employee discount
