Default Battery choice

Hi everyone,

I'm sure this has been done, but I don't seem able to search lately.

I have an '03 Heritage and after five years, it appears the battery is done. I won't complain about five years, but I'm wondering if the HD battery is the best replacement option. I have a Mustang seat and it has a rubber bumper that sits right on top of the battery (that actually puts pressure on the battery), so I need to make sure the new battery isn't any larger than the original unit.

Thanks,

5 years sounds pretty good, I would just go back with the HD battery. Good performance and good fitment.

Harley factory batteries are hard to beat and the price is right.
