Why? Did your scoot talk to you in a dream or something?

Best batteries on the market in my opinion.

http://www.odysseybatteries.com/

There is a guy out of Florida with a store on EBay who has great prices on them.

HD came out with a new sealed AGM (glass mat) battery in the past year that is the same type of construction as the Odyssey. I think the Odyssey only fits sporties 03 and older.

Are you having electrical issues? Double check all connections to the battery and check the plug connected to the voltage regulator!

My New to me Roadster has been turning over a little slower lately,so I figure batts only last 4 yrs. My previous exp with HD also leads me to beleive I need a new battery and V-twin mfg. has one for $84.
And yes Roadster does talk to me,she says Ride Me!

AGM from H-D is the only way to fly! Pretty much the only thing from H-D that I buy.

You can find a cheap battery, but the HD battery will fit right and last a good long time.

Whatever you choose, make sure you invest in a battery tender.
