I looked every that carries motorcycle batteries and no one had them. I finally had to have a gear place order one. My husband can buy a battery for his at walmart but not me??? Mandy

Can get a standard battery in stock at our local CycleGear store for $39. Batteries Plus quoted an instock gel battery for $65. Going tomorrow to check it out. Gel batteries are the best way to go by far. No maintenance, no trickle charging to keep it alive etc.

Scan thru the posts, there's one that was an '06
The vent tube is no longer necessary.
And you need to mod the cable ends a bit. The ends have bent down tabs that keep the cable from rotating. And the rubber boot doesn't fit very well.
