Good, I'll have to check that out once this battery decides to quit......It's only eight years old though...Yep, still running the original battery & no it's never been on a tender nor jumped.

 

I just put a Yuasa (came in a Drag Specialties box but the paper work with itsaid it was a Yuasa)battery in my 2000 a couple of weeks ago and it fit perfect and it is a gell battery just like the original.
Thatwas the first battery Iput in that bike, the original battery lasted 8 years and my wifes bike is 5 years old and hers is still works fine, so the stock Harley batteries must be pretty good quality.

 

YUASA Owns interstate, they are all made by YUASA

 

Yuasa must have come a looooooooooooooong way since 1980.

 

Quite possible. Look at the chit HD was building in 1980. I'd be riding a rice burner. And so would we all. HD wouldn't exist anymore.
