Yeah, almost went the Odyssey route, but read some negative posts so chickened out. Plus the PC925LMJ is selling for $198 with free shipping. Still $50 more than I paid.

Story of my life -- if this turns out to be a mistake I'll do something else next time. Sort of like getting in the wrong line at the bank or grocery store! LOL

Interesting........bad news on an Odyssey? When I researched batteries I didn't see anything negative. I'm sure there is, I just missed it.

Very happy with it. PC925LMJ.....$183.95 no tax & shipped to the door.

Can't remember where I read them, may not have been here, but read several. Lots of good, too. I've had good service with my HD battery so figured I'd stick with them. Guess I'll stick with the YUASA battery I've got instead.

I have had good luck with my Odyssey too. A little more money.

Drag Specialties sell quality products. If it's got a good warranty and good CCA I wouldn't worry about it.

We have had the best luck with the HD batteries. For some reason the Drag batteries seem to spin the bike over slower. I used to have great luck with them, but ever since they started playing with the terminal/ bolt material they seem to have gone down hill. They have a no questions asked 100% one year warranty, but the way battery prices have skyrocketed over the last year or so, IMO your much better off with an OEM battery for almost the same money. I stopped selling them last summer, because I got tired of replacing them for free.

Yep, I figure I'm good to go. Was just surprised. Next time, dummy, open the damn box before bringing it home to avoid the shock! Thanks everyone.

If I have any trouble with it, it'll be going back!

For the life of me I don't understand why people buy things such as batteries from an HD Stealership.
As one previous rider suggests; "Why not shop for batteries at a Battery shop?"
Far better batteries for a LOT LESS MONEY.
Or are there just a few of us who cares about the money we have?
Ride In Peace
