Here's a novel idea. Go to any of the big parts outlets, J&P, DK and put you ride in. Then search battery. Kinda amazing, they show batteries that fit YOUR bike AND the dimensions.

Do a Google search. Motorcycle battery size.

Going to Lithium will save some space sometimes.

That's just crazy talk. Nobody does any research for themselves anymore, they just ask random questions to random people on the internet. They will, however, spend 20 minutes on Facebook trying to find out what kind of potato they are.

Research is great but, even better sometimes is a Harley forum with experienced riders/ tinkerers who have made the mistake of the internets "best battery"

You are using a forum from the US, but you can`t search companies outside of your location to find a battery size?

This forum needs an "I need to be spoon-fed because I am helpless" section.

Why can't we just be friends and answer the First Poster's Questions. Or find some other thread to work on.

The other stuff is just being rude. And yes, the first poster should have realized that second post probably didn't notice a Brit.

He probably should have ask for help on that side of the pond if he expects how you do it there.
