Fed up with the Yuasas Sad

Looking to get a gel type for my K1100lt 94. Which one would fit?

Thanks!

Eric

Eric,

I would go for an Odyssey PC680 AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat), had one in my '95 1100Lt for probably 11 years now. You need two small adapters for the terminals, but other than that it's been great. Got one in my R1150RT as well.

They may be under a different code in the US perhaps?

Mike,

Thanks! Are the adapters needed to convert from top mount to side mount? Where can I find them if so.

Eric,

Motorworks (UK):

If you fit them make sure that there is insulation between the battery and the metal framework of the ECU!

As you live on the other side of the pond, it might be cheaper to get them from the source.
