Great adivise from all, thank you. It is good to know what I have going on is not super crazy. They can last 8 years. I agree about maintainers can give a false sense of security, it will start out of the garage but the next morning on a road trip it drops voltage. Pretty safe bet to replace. I think the 400cca is the spec for a 2018 FLHX. Going to get a regular YUASA to replace it. I have done lithiums and didn't care for the 55 degree cold start performce. I even had the Shoria charger/maintainer.
As a final note, What if I only ran no ethanol premium and full synthetic oil? I have balancing beads in a car tire with multiple plugs in nail holes? Would that give me one more season out of this battery?
Have a great 2026.

Pretty sure I left a gas cap in Hell one year for the Blessing. Pretty neat little town. The Blessing was at a camp ground, had lots of vendors and a bike show. Met the mayor, still have amy get out of Hell free card.
