    Can anyone recommend online source for a sealed battery for a 2005 HD
    Sporster? I don't want to pay Harley Davidson prices. Which of the
    cheaper makes are good value?

    Thanks

    Don't buy a cheap battery for cranking a big twin. You'll just end up
    fucking up the sprag clutch. Get an AGM battery made by Westco or Hawker
    Odyssey. You'll find links in the thread linked to ABOVE.
    no probs
    How very polite, but unnecessary. You won't get any other type of reply
    from the cunts around here.

    I bought the cheapest conventional lead acid Rob Roy battery I could get
    my hands on six years ago and it still works on the higher compression
    than usual Guzzi.

    It's getting a bit marginal in the cold if it's been left for a week or
    so but 20 minutes on the charger usually sorts it - it's just getting old.

    Yes, but you've got a reasonable amount of space on the Guzzi - HDs
    don't have very large battery compartments, at least not the more
    recent ones.
