Just ordered on of these for my 76 FLH: hYIX28L Scorpion 12v 370 CCA Harley HVT-7 AGM Motorcycle Battery

Funny that we have all used the same website, same PN, but I've seen posts of 370, 380, and 390 CCA.

Not "All"
I use a $50 to $60, AGM Battery. Lasts 3 years [at least] ... Good enough for "my girls" and The Adapter for the FLH box is Not much challenge... the challenge will be the Access solution to the "storage area"... I don't want regular fasteners...
Just came to me.... Maybe I'll put a Cut-off switch in that space as well.....

BatteryStuff deserves a shout out.
I ordered the hYIX28L Scorpion 12v 370 CCA Harley HVT-7 AGM Motorcycle Battery Friday morning, and it was delivered to Maryland Monday. Free shipping.
Shovel fired right up.

Just a footnote. All my research has led to DEKA BATTERY in Pennsylvania. It seems they manufacture the OEM batteries for moco.
Found out that Lowes is a distributor for DEKA and they can order any HD battery you need if they don't have it in stock. 2-5 days.
My 2012 FLHTCU needed new juice. 106.00 instead of 160.00 to 190.00 through dealers etc. They also give 10% off for Military and Veterans.
