cHarley, I can put your mind at ease, the battery pictured above is for a Softail, the part #350-434, gets you the yrettab with the correct terminal orientation.

Yea, you'll be fine then. Just be careful not to crank down on the terminal bolts too hard.

To get that sense you have to screw up at least once.

Yep, true that, and I have put more than one big blister on a battery terminal by letting a wrench get too close. I laugh every time I reset the computer in my wifes Saturn, everything near the positive battery terminal is plastic coated. After a hard rain the Check Engine Soon light occasionally comes on.
