battery question
Hi Folks, I have a 1975 FXE that someone has put quite a bit of FLH parts on. The battery in this thing is huge 5"W 8"L 6 1/2"H. It's time to replace it and I am wondering if that is the proper size. The battery cover actually rubs the back of my thigh. How do I identify the proper size battery and tray. Does anyone have the measurement maybe even a part number? Thanks for any help.

OEM number is YHD-12 8-1/2"L x 5-1/4"W x 6-1/2"T this is the big FLH battery , the FX was a lot smaller .

Hilti... I put the battery mentioned by Twizted on my 65 pan almost 18 months ago. Best thing I ever did. Sealed, EXACT same dimensions, fits like a glove and NO battery acid leaks. Don't use a battery tender and has always started first time every time.

Yep, FX and FLH frames were the same back then and the parts interchange. Weird that the guy was trying to build an FL out of an FX. It's usually the other way around!
