I have a conventional battery in my CB750 that I put in last year.  Not to get bogged down with details, I’m not happy with it.  

I know a number of you fellas get your batteries online.  Have you any recommendations?

I see that Fortnine has some of various brands, but ouch, a bit pricey.  I’d consider getting a battery from them as I have a couple of other items to order as well pending recommendations.

Cheers,
Ross

I have Yuasa in my bikes but they are on last legs after about 5 or 6 yrs.  I will replace with any non-US made batteries.

Edmonds Batteries house brand has treated me good over the years.  We use their batteries in all our electric scissor lifts at work.

Yes, I got all of my motorcycle batteries from Edmonds as well.  They were all AGM batteries and were great.  I got this conventional battery there as well.  Didn’t realize it was conventional until I opened the box at home.
