Ken, don't let these guys beat you up. The factory battery may be pricey, but you get what you pay for. My 02 FLHT still had the original battery, going strong, when I sold it in 2006. Based on my bikes' delivery date, that battery was almost 5 years old. My current 05 still has the original battery in it as well. When you consider that my previous experience with MC batteries was based on a 2 year life cycle, I am pretty satisfied. I am always amused by those folks that save money buying Wallyworld battery with the "Life Time Warranty" only to end up replacing it 3 times in the first year. I'm not saying there aren't good alternatives to the Factory part, just that there are a lot of bad. At least with the HD part you know what you're getting. I think they call the 'piece of mind'....

Ken,I think you need to go back to the stealer and have them let out all the air in your tires and have them put in some fresh new air

Bullshit... YOur crazy for paying it. You could have got a good, name brand battery anywhere for under 100$.

no.but it'll be a piece of mind knowing you have good fresh air in your tires. If you had laces I would say they were loose, but you don't. So take it to the INDY
