Default Dumb Question, Sorry.

I'm new to HD cycles, I've always changed my batteries within 6-months of buying a new bike, car or truck with what ever is the best on the market (want to minimize dead batteries at the worse time).
Anyway what group or part number is stock on a 2023 Fat Boy?

Sorry, but that new battery should last a minimum of 3 years, if you choose to change it now, surely someone will come pick your old one up.

The guy is just doing preventative maintenance on a pre-owned vehicle and wants to know what battery to buy. Why bust on him?

Go to the fish on line. Might have problems being a 23.
Probably have to call a dealer.

Bust on him ???? Hell, at least gave him some advice on battery life, more than you did. OP, probably can get a part # off your dealer or someone will chime in here with it.

H44, I never had a softail but bot many new bikes. The batteries will last 4 years.

Tender it if you need to.

I understand what you are saying my friend but they really are GOOD batteries. The don't skimp on new batt's for your bike.

I don't know the exact answer to your question tho.

The chaps here are VERY GOOD. I am sure someone will come up with the answer soon 'nuff.

I'm just trying to get an idea what group size is standard on late model soft tails, it was stupid to post this. Haven't had a lot of time recently to surf the net for a firm answer. I've used Odyssey batteries in all my new vehicles including diesels and the new car and truck we have.
In my sport bikes and recent dirt bikes over the last 50-years whatever seemed the majority recommendation. I've never needed a jump start in my life and plan on keeping it that way. Anyway sorry for the post and please delete this thread.
Thank you and take care.
