I got mine a year ago and even with the 20% off it was a big shock. Can imagine now what it'll be.

LOL That is if you can find an unleaded battery...It doesn't have anything to do with the H.D. brand...It is due to the rising cost of lead.

[QUOTE=dawg;6014507]December 28, 2009

Over the past six months, commodity prices for lead have been on a steep rise. As a result, Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Parts will have to increase the price of its batteries effective today, December 28th.

The effected part numbers are included below. Updated pricing is effective immediately and is reflected on today’s price tape.

Damn Dawg....Could of told us yesterday!!!!!!!! LOL....

Take note of the time that dawg posted this. It is 1 hour after the stock market opened. He was cashing in on his lead commodities.
