If it is going to be less than one you can buy in the local shop of the same type then its a deal but factor in its dry, so you need electrolyte, its $10 postages/freight, and if you dont have a trickle charger you need to buy one, how ever the last is not a bad thing to have around.

Ring around your local shops you might be pleasantly surprised.

Some Repco stores stock them also. Or at least they used to.

I have new CTX14-BS BESKO battery filled and charged if you can fit on your bike, it's no good for R1 (to big)-40$.

The Yumicron battery you need for the bike is the one you stated,
(good battery type), but if you want a High Performance, Maintanance free type, the correct equivalant is the YTX14AHL-BS.
