Well here is the update. I got the battery about a week ago , I didn't get around to installing it right away. The bottom line is the battery works fine. Although it says it is a direct replacement for the Yuasa, it is just about 1/8th of an inch taller, and the stock battery is a very tight fit, so... I could no longer fit the plastic cover back on the top of the battery. I cut a strip of rubber out of an old inner tube and placed it underneath the chrome tie down strap just so it wouldn't rub on the battery. It doesn't look much different without the cover. All is well and I'm back in the saddle....Yippee, Yi, OH, Tiyay!
