Bleargh - I went to three different places to pick up a battery for the bike, and nobody had one in stock. The guys at my closest dealership were nice enough to order some for backstock so I didn't have to pre-pay, but when it comes in it gonna cost me a hundred and twenty dollars. My bike is a lot nicer than the claptrap UJM's I had for years, but at least for those I could go to Pep Boys and buy a battery for $25 (of course, I had to buy one practically every year...) The YUASA chart that I looked up the battery on had a footnote that said *hold-down must be modified* - in a perfect world that would mean I have to slightly adjust the rubber strap that holds the battery down, but in my world it usually involves a dremel and working perilously close to the wiring harness & my custom paint job.
Work has been a drag this week - in addition to my regular shift I had to go in for training for the new computer systems that will be going in next month. Ah well, I have a long weekend planned with meine Freundin that I am looking forward to. The plan is to get the bike all tuned up first thing next week, check back for pics (and maybe my first video post?) We'll see...
