If you need a new one this is the one I got at a helava deal and forum sponsor. Cool part is it has brass terminals and is almost an inch shorter.

I was hoping to pick one up tomorrow so I could hopefully ride this weekend but maybe I will wait and get this one, since you have one and dig it.

Yea, they were tight. The positive was tighter than the negative but both were pretty snug.

Oh man, I love the fact that it would be an inch shorter! I need that extra space badly (for the Load Equalizer and other crap under the seat).

That would be awesome!
Is your battery better than the ones the dealer sells? I assume they are more...well, cause they say Harley on them.

Do a search on Odyssee batteries and decide. I think so.

Yep. Same one I had. Big white block letters said YOUSA on the side. I tightened the lead box terminals so many times I dam neer smashed the lead flat. The large master fuse darn neer didnt fit on top. Now it tucks on the front of the battery as the Odyssey is a tad thinner too.
