Ah,glad to hear you went for the yuasa GYZ32HL AGM battery with 500cca's that was rec to you.
Can't beat $132 to your door from PhatPerf online.
And like you said it spins an HD v-twin over very well as is the case with my HD too because i installed the same battery in it 4/2016.
Btw,to be safe if you use a maint/float charger dont leave it on the battery 24/7 or often to avoid possibly overcharging the battery.
I say that because if the battery is held at a bit high of a voltage (13.1-13.2V) for days on end when in float mode which i found to be the case post testing a couple maint/float chargers which could be an issue with some (not all!) maint/float chargers.
It's when an AGM bike battery that has considerably less fluid/electrolyte in it thats got an approx 12.7-12.8v full charge voltage consistently held at 13.1-13.2v's for days/wks on end that over time (in some cases,not all!) can dry out enough electrolyte from the plates warping them leading to premature failure.
So when the battery reaches full charge and charger has gone into float mode i rec you remove the charger from the battery ASAP after that & or remove the charger a max of 24hrs after battery reached full charge & charger has gone into float mode to keep it safe & get full srv'c life out of it.
Good luck with your new Yuasa battery.
Happy Motoring.
Scott
