Hi there I am looking for some suggestions on a new battery for my 99 softail. Looking for a good battery thats not crazy expensive. What have you guys been using. thanks
Yes.........not very good results. The alarm system (OEM) kept draining the battery over night to the point that I was afraid to go on a trip with it or leave it off the tender for more that a day or two.
I returned it and bought an Odyssey over the winter (they were on sale/no shipping cost) the best part, the battery is smaller in size than the OEM with more power so I was able to stow my Fuelpak in the extra space.
Try Bohannon Battery Distributors. In January I bought a Deka battery (same battery Harley sells) from them for my Duece. Cost me $85.00 and free shipping.
