I did the regular battery thing a few times and it always sounded like it was not going to start. (Not a good gut feeling) So I got the lithium and BAM the thing explodes! Even letting the bike sit all winter doesn't seem to bother it but if you still don't trust it you'll have to buy a Lithium 'styled' charger.

ive ran lithium in everybike of mine as a replacement...many different brands,shorai,alien motion,bikemaster,wps,and others and all of them are good as new...even have one thats from 2008 and still cranks my ducati hypermotard well..its a shorai...the only problem is if you run extras on your bike it will wear them down

ANTIGRAVITY AG-1601

It's wayyyy smaller and lighter than the H-D battery and it snaps the engine over much better than the stocker ever did.

Anybody try any of the smaller AG batteries? I was gonna go with the 1201 but I chickened out, lol
