Yep still $89.99 for me too.
I see they updated the Q&A on the batteries page to add my answers to some questions asked.

I went out to start the bike last nightand it would crank but wasn't enough to start the bike. I just got the battery Tuesday damn it.
I put it on the charger overnight and went out at 7:30am to start it. The charger had a green light saying it was finished charging but the bike still wouldn't start. I take off the battery cover to try and test it and the multimeter said it had 12.9v.
I tried to start it again and it wouldn't start but then I saw a wisp of smoke coming off the negative post. I took the cables loose, cleaned them with a wire brush then tightened them down and it started. Checked the voltage with it running and it was about 14v

Almost the same damn thing happened to me with my original battery in the bike except that one ended up melting the negative battery post from being loose all the time even after multiple times tightening it. I loctited it and it didn't come loose again. I need to find my blue loctite and do it again with this one. Anyone else have a lot of problems with the damn cables loosening up a lot?

Pig--Thanks for the tip. Mine's on its way. Had to call them to get it right--their site listed it at $109.99. W/ tax and core charge it came to $78.74. They'll refund $6 if I send them the old core (shipped at their expense--go figure). Use code: RAF7JA1102.

BTW, these batteries are rated 17.5 amp/hour, instead of Harley's 19 a/h. But I don't see this as much of a compromise as the Moco battery is ~$115. They are both AGM batteries w/ identical exterior dimensions.

Edit:

"Anyone else have a lot of problems with the damn cables loosening up a lot?"

Never had them come loose. I use the 10mm nut driver, not the Phillips driver, and get them very snug. My cables are extremely well restrained, because of the tight battery box, so can't impose any strain on the connection. Made a thin wood shim which fits between the battery and the aft side of the box, to prevent fore-aft motion. And also have both heated gear and GPS outlets wired direct. One of the fuse holders squeezes in above the battery, preventing vertical motion. Of course the rubber strap prevents sideways motion.

Glad more people got in on this deal.
We get burned enough on the price of these bike parts.
