Yes, it fairly pricey, but shop around and you can find deals. I’ve had it on my previous Dyna and friend has been running it on his built, high compression, bike for over 5 years and runs super strong!

My ‘03 FLHTCUI needed a new stator this summer. When I had it replaced, I got a Yuasa. My Indy said this Yuasa battery has the most CCA available. 500.

Default Alaska trip

In preparation for my Alaska trip this summer, my 2015 battery was 4 years old, so I thought PPPPPPP so I bought a new Yuasa battery and like some others have said, you can't beat the CCA rating. And the price was very low to boot.

I have posted this before. Worked for yellow Freight for 35 years .Learned a lot about products that I picked up and delivered. Lots of co. make products for other co. One day in Reading Pa. I picked up a load of MC battery's at East Penn MFG.they are the co. that makes Deka drove them across town to Yuasa backed into the dock to unload as they were taking them off they were putting Yuasa labels on the battery's. That said there only 5 or 6 company's .that make battery's. Opinions are like ******** everyone has one. Me I like East Penn ( Deka) If you buy a Deka you know its from East Penn.

Is it even that many? Most I know of are made by only 3, East Penn, Johnson Controls, and Exide. I haven't asked in a while, but that is what it used to be.
