Battery
My battery is about to die in my 2005 883L.
Any suggestions about which make of batteries are better or should I go for the Harley supplied unit. Maint free would be my choice.
Probably a lot about this in the archives but not much time at the moment to do any research.

+1. I looked all over (J&P, NAPA, Sears, etc.) and ended up with HD being the best price.

HD was closed when I needed one (Sunday) so I went to walmart, 4 years still working. But not maintenance free.

O'Reilly sells East Penn motorcycle batteries which is the company that makes the HD batteries. You won't save a ton, but will save a little. If there's one more convenient than going to a dealer, then you have another option.

I used Odyssey Drycell Batteries in everything I run. Then cHarley told me that Harley batteries are now gel. I must admit it the Harley battery has been holding its own for a couple years now. Even after some major electrical issues IE: Fried Stator....... etc.
I still have the Odyssey's in my other rides, but I'll keep on using the Harley gel in my Harley's.
