I have found a battery locally that fits our bikes. It's an Interstate battery CYTX12-BS, runs about $60. Thanks again to everyone who posted in the last thread. And this time I even posted in the right spot so there's no extra work for anyone.

Since Robert still needs something to do instead of that 20 minutes a day he wastes on sleeping and such,  it would be a great thing if an archive were added here with replacement part numbers like this.

Someone was working on a part number cross reference spreadsheet...... anyone remember who? I have a copy of it somewhere, can't remember who sent it to me... I think Pat or Phil might remember. Once completed it could be added to the downloads section, and then periodically updated but whoever...

That was beanache (Paul) who started that. I have a copy also. Without Robert's involvement, it is going nowhere...

I thought we could post something to the downloads ourselves? Or maybe it needs an approval... Hmmmm, I wonder how it would look converted to a JPEG and posted in someone's gallery?

If you come across it I would like a copy.

The thought was to have the spreadsheet up where members could add to it or in lieu of that, someone to maintain it...

Jim, PM me your e-mail and I'll send you a copy.
Phil, I agree. If I think of something I'll let you know. Maybe even something as simple as a sticky thread?

The problem is that Robert does not allow uploads or attachments. We would have to have special dispensation from the Grand Poobah (aka Robert)! I will work on that...

This is something more for the forum help section probably, but how long after something is posted do you have to edit it? If we made a sticky threat at the top of the section, people could add to the list and whoever started it, or a moderator, could simply cut and paste into the first message of the thread to "update" it. No? I know it's a bit of a pint, but it's a start till we can roust Roberto.

Hey Ben, That a great idea and would work if an individual post could have it's editing time limits altered.
