My Org batt lasted almost 5yrs to the day..
and yeah,, the tender is on her if she sits any more than a couple weeks.

Last spring I got a AGM batt from Battery plus, So far its been good, The Batt+ place is only two blocks from home Vs the dealer 100 round trip and it was about $40 less. There bike Batts are also make by Dekca.

Advance Auto sells the Extreme MagnaPower battery. At my local store it was $116.

I ordered a Big Crank battery from Battery Mart and guess what....it came in a Extreme MagnaPower box. So obviously its the same manufacturer. However, I paid $88 shipped from Battery Mart.

My battery guy (local auto battery warehouse) recommended the Deka for my softail (replacement for Harley - same thing)...my stock battery lasted 4.5 years until I left the lights on one afternoon.
