66010-97C MSRP is $149.95, if you paid more than that either taxes are too high where you live or the dealer is fugging you. The Deka ETX30L is the same battery as the 66010-97C.

I have a friend that rides a Yamaha cruiser.He took it to the dealer for carb work and a battery.They charged him 220 dollars for the battery.I could hardly believe he paid that much.

"$168 freaking bucks out the door (they did install it supposedly for free)"

Install probably wasn't really "Free" but at least you don't have to worry about a battery for a few years.

Picked up a new one and walked out the door with it about two weeks ago for $145. So you paid $20 for installation.

Wether a mc battery is $108 or $168 it's amazing that they cost that much compared to a automotive battery.
