Default Battery Recomendations
Well my 03 stock battery finally croaked. What recomendations do the fine folks on the forum have for a replacement? Stock 88 but 95 big bore are in the works, basically stock compression.
Cheers!

A good glass matt battery will do you. Some call them gel batteries.

I would go with a Harley battery. The new battery they came out with 2 or 3 years ago is one of the best you can get.

Yep, but it is a quality battery. I might be jaded by the Harley service seminar I just went to as well.

The Battery Warehouse carries the exact same battery as the HD... without the HD Logo or price.
