    Hi Guys,,,,,I need a little advice on battery selection for my FLHSTC 2003.

    The current H/D battery  is up for replacing after  4yrs +  service.

    Living out in Broken Hill we dont have a great selection of batteries or information available.

    Im after the best battery I can buy as the bike is sitting on 95 ci with 10.5 comp/ratio.

    Any suggested battery  would be of great help.

    Thanks

    Thanks fellows, will take your advise, and Wassa! I have a trickle charger, I think thats why I had such a good run out of the battery,although it still turns over ok, but this replacement is the final step to find out why im losing spark.
    When the bike is parked in the shed (now its getting cooler) no spark,,,,,,park it in the sun plenty of spark,,,,tried a new ignition module,coil, checked all wiring connections and pulled the crank sender unit out, all ok,,,,so now looking at battery dropping in volts while starting and not supplying enough volts to the ignition.....any ideas ?

    Just recently buying a new Roady I was surprised of the grunt of HD Battery considering the big donk it's turning over. I'm comparing it to the HD battery that was in the Softail 88B. Must be a larger capacity battery. Personally I would stick to the HD battery.
