Check this one out, it has a bit more CCA and is an AGM, and is a Yuasa, mot of us are very happy with the OEM Yuasa : http://www.batterystuff.com/batteries/powersports/YTX14AHL-BS.html

Has a different name on it, but made in the same place as Yuasa.  Big improvement over the 11 year old OEM that it replaced.  All models use the YTX14BS.

the reason I mentioned I/S on the battery post is all the electronics in the cluster.   ie battery drain for keeping the clock and radio working.  Is the Yusua battery really the best for all the valks?

In my humble opinion, yes it is.  Hard to argue with longevity like 10-11 years.  Be sure to charge your new battery for an hour or so at a slow charge rate like 2 amps before you install it in the bike.

I purchased a replacement battery last week at my local Interstate battery store. The brand name is Cycle-Tron (or something like that), but it's made by Yuasa and even has the same Yuasa number YTX14BS. Out the door is cost me $85.

I like Yuasa batteries as they have always given me good service. I replaced that last one after 5+ years although it gave no indication of being bad. I figure 5+ years is plenty long for a motorcycle battery.
