Odyssey pc545 battery

http://xchoppers.com/product_info.php?products_id=1495

That's some serious CCA. Thinking about going that direction soon. I've seen it on sale for under a hundred bucks on another site. Of course, there's always that shipping thing . . .

Thoughts?

Yes, as a matter of fact I DID have the right-of-way!

according to the link you posted, that battery does not fit in your bike...compatibility stops at 2001...not sure what changed between 01 and later, that seems rather strange...measure twice, purchase once!

not to mention as an 02, you have the weaker charging system...not sure if you'd see the benefit...

I have odyssey in my xs 1100.I've abused it over and over. It bounces right back.
It was used when I got it. Sal

Yes ... I had it for two years and it died.

I would not recommend the battery if you have to store your bike for extended periods. It likes frequent charge/discharge cycles to keep it going. I let mine down over the winter and it never recovered.

I had one and personally I didn't like it I don't know if I got one that sat on the shelf for a couple of years or what but buddy when they go dead they are dead
I like the Big Bore battery it was the only one that I tried that would turn over my bike

I've got it and haven't had any problems so far. My bike sits outside for weeks and she starts right up.
