There is another AGM that is a little cheaper and I understand has tested well called MotoBat. I ran one for a few years in another bike and it was still strong when I sold it.

Lots to read and research and as always, lots of opinions.
I read & researched and ended up going with the Big Crank ETX30 for my SG. $100 bucks plus free shipping. Can't be beat!!

I am a huge fan of Odyssey batteries. I have one that has been in my other bike since fall of 2009 and it is still going strong. I just put one in my RK. They aren't any cheaper, but they seem to last forever.
There is another AGM that is a little cheaper and I understand has tested well called MotoBat. I ran one for a few years in another bike and it was still strong when I sold it.
