When I'm not able to get out on the bike, I enjoy watching videos of bike rides; but almost all of the ones for Harley FXDLs are sales videos. So, here's a video of a brief ride on mine on Monday, between snow on Sunday and storms from Tuesday. By the way, it's a 2015 model, but first registered in 2014, so I'm never sure how best to describe it.

 

I posted yesterday my original battery is still doing well and I finally got a chance to ride today and the bike came very close to not starting lol. Ginxed myself twice in one week!

 

After much research, I bought a Throttle X MX20L.


Anyone familiar with this brand?

 

Let me know how you like it, mine was on the tender all night long and still showed "charging" when I left this morning. it never does that so I'm thinking its shot or close to it!

 

please keep us updated with that battery. I was interested in that same one, but for an AGM, it seems high priced.

 

I got it for $100 with free delivery because I had $30 in Amazon Reward dollars that I wanted to redeem.

Hope this battery is better than the two POS HD batteries I had.

 

Battery arrived a few days earlier than expected. This battery is suppose to be charged already and able to go right in the bike. However, I am wondering if I should charge it with my battery tender before starting the bike. How long can a "pre charged" battery hold its charge?

 

Install the battery, and start it. If it starts, ride that sucker!! The tender won't charge a dead battery anyway. I bet it starts up right away.

 

Mine came precharged and started right out of the box.

 

It never hurts to give a new battery a full charge when you first install it.
