Battery question

I'm doing a restoration on a '71 Ironhead. The bike will have only a kick-start. Because there will be no requirement for 'cranking amps' any reason I can't use a small gel-cell 12V battery?
Thanks

I wouldn't think it would be a problem. My 65 xlch is hooked up that way.
I put batt in just so I could turn on lites without having to have bike running.

Well Mr. stonemaster, you are most certainly wrong about that, and most certainly wrong if you are referring specifically to the IronHead forum on XLForum.

I do not see a member name stonemaster over there. Did you actually join?

It is not fair game to come onto any internet forum and spread unfounded negative reviews.

Perhaps you could explain more about your negative experiences there.

I enjoy that forum too. There is very good info there too. I myself never got any disrespect at all . Now let's stop that bashing now before it gets out of hand . That is all that is going to be said on this.
