I'm getting ready to leave with a bunch of my buds for 10 days or so in the mountains Saturday, ending up at Barber Vintage Days.
I got to thinking that the older battery might be getting close to kicking it so I ordered a MotoBatt off eBay. Price was reasonable, fit like a glove and arrived fully charged. The cool thing is a second set of terminals on the other corners that make hooking up my Tender and Power Commander leads a lot easier job. I made all the connections with the battery half way installed, sliding it in the rest of the way afterward, which made it much easier than trying to work down in the depths of the deep, dark hole in which it resides.
Happy with it so far, we'll see how she goes from here
The new batt spun the starter motor with renewed vigor, so I'm thinking this might have been a smart preventative move.
Jim, what model Moto battery is it? I'm having a hard time
finding the right one on their website. They don't even list a 2014 CB1100
as being available.
