You want one (http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecId=5639) of these, all others are crap or way overpriced. I priced a Yuasa last month @ $225 - never heard back from the shop either.

I'll get me a big red in a couple months, might get a couple for the truck too

The Sporties battery lasted 9 years, the T-Sport ('01) still has it's original battery.

My ironhead Sporty one lasted 9 years (and could still be going for all I know).

Just got a new one for the Buell, $165...

[DEATH_INC.]

Yep, they're farkin good those original Zookie batteries. The gixx is still on it's original after 8 years...

Yup, the first real cold snap of winter and blow-flies, batteries and old people die off...

Well I pulled the genuine Japanese Yuasa out of the YZF about 3 years back as I replaced it with a lighter one. . . and put it in the RF for another turn. That makes it 15 yrs old with irregular use. Mind you it might not last the winter, do you think I should ask my money back?:shifty:

[riffer]

The RF still has it's original battery in it... which makes it 12 years old at least. :rolleyes:
