    Interesting. I'm using a Motobatt in my 950 KTM, and it's been in for about 12 months and still cranks well.
    They run at 11.5 comp' @ over 200psi cranking.
    Thought they might be a good option for the HD when the time came. Maybe not from the sound of it !

    A genuine battery for my fxd was quoted at $180 ish. Didnt need it in the end as my battery optimiser recovered the orrginal battery. My fault for leaving the parking light on for5 day when i was away. The funny thing is, It is THE original battery and my bike is 04. When it finally gives up the will to live, Im buying genuine!

    Deka for sure. Nothing better. 6 years and still cranking strong on a 10.5 comp (205 psi) motor.

     Just replaced my odyssey pc545 battery which was having trouble starting my 107 build 215 psi compression when hot with a ssb 450 cca $150.00 unit like you are thinking about, this thing fires the bike up in a hart beat hot or cold so far so good good service and advise from the fella I delt with.
