Okay ... The scooter is a 2009 and I'm thinkin' that it's time for a new battery. I just checked at the local HD and they have the last one left in the world ( obviously ) and want $187.00 for it. No kisses either. Have any of you tried the "Big Crank" from Battery- Mart?

Evenin Woods and Miss Helen, I finished fabricating the backing plates for my trailer tie downs. Now all I have left to do is add a couple of dozen self tapping screws and I'm done rigging my snowmobile trailer for hauling a motorcycle .

Yep...I've had a couple of'em. They are good......But......Don't seem to last quite as long before losing their cranking amperage......If ya get 5-6 years outta the Harley battery, you'll get 3-4 outta the Big Crank. ....Half the price...lasts half as long....It's a wash.
