    OK Hilly

    You might be right, I don't ride it that much as im near 68, years old, but keep having a ride now & then.......There is a trickle charger connected to my Fatboy,.....Ill charge it more often, see what happens

    If I make it to 68 I wont care if I have to buy a new battery every week if I can still go for a ride.

    Gary it may not be the bat but it's not a bad place to start. Maybe see if you can swap it with the one in the fatty.

    Has it always been an issue or just progressively snuck up on you?

    Well I order a CTEK smart charger, to replace the trickle charger, already connected to battery (apparently there not called trickle chargers no more). Plus a brand new battery, ill fit these next week. Decided to start from scratch. See how it goes then.

    Thanks for the advice fellows
