Stock battery is more than adequate.

It will if you delete the windshield washer reservoir.

You're forgiven. :P


It will if you delete the windshield washer reservoir.

But most people like to keep that functionality.

I got one at Menards cheap. $75. There's only a couple manufacturers in the US. Pay for a name.

also make sure to get a 58R battery, the "R" means the terminals are reversed making the negative terminal closest to the drivers side :beer: like in the picture above ^^^^^^^

Anybody have any starting issues in super cold temps?
I had one fail to start experiences when temps dipped to 8*
It did start a few hours later when it warmed up to a balmy 12*

Either way. Mine is opposite. Ran wires under the front cowling. Looks nice.
