Title: Bought The Battery!
Post by genejohnson on 05/16/09 at 17:41:02

I managed to find a 200 CCA Gel type at Advance Auto for about $63. It was also the most inexpensive one found locally. I installed it in the box and started it up and rode it for the first time. I have to still find an Ignition Switch. I'm twisting together wires now.
Bought oil and filter for it also. Will do that tomorrow. I noticed that I had no brake lights and since it was both front and rear, I suspected the bulb, but that was not the case, so thats something else to persue.
It sure has a lot of get-up-and-go to it! A lot more than a 441 Victor that I owned once upon a time. Where I could ride it without brake lights, I only had room to ride in first gear. Went into second once but not traveling fast enough on the small dirt lane to keep it from lugging.
What about the battery purchase? Did I do O.K.? Gene

A $63.00 gel battery sounds like a good deal to me. I'd have bought it if i needed a battery..
