Yuasa makes EXCELLENT batteries. They are a household name in Japan and as stated above, come standard on H-D's in Japan. Mine's still cranking pretty strong for going on 5 years, now.

The best thing about Yuasa batteries is that they are packaged and shipped Dry. You can set one on your parts shelf for years. Simply activate with acid when needed.

Yuasa has a user friendly web site. Plug in your year, make, model and you'll see the manufacturer stock number. Note: Yusasa makes 2 batteries for Softails. One has higher CCA's.

If your going through HD batteries in less than 5-7 years of hard use then you have other problems it is not the battery.

Yuasa is big time.

I used to work as a field service tech in the commercial power industry for a company called enersys. Enersys was the former yuasa stationary power (commercial power systems), and prior to that was exide. Enersys/yuasa is/was the major player in commercial power, alongside C&D battery. We had a reputation for the finest battery systems in the industry. Verizon is the largest contract, with enersys/yuasa systems in every central office and cel site in at least the northeast. As others have said, yuasa is top notch and has been a player for years in all forms of batteries and you can be confident in their products.
