Yep, the "Dealer" needs more margin than the drop shippers. Cost a lot more money to keep the doors open at a brick and mortar business verses a virtual dealer.

The guy I bought mine from never even saw or handled the bike. All he needs is a web site and a dinky office with a computer.

Purchasing from a 'dealer' in Sterling Illinois, I paid $2400.00 + reg & taxes. Out the door at $2850. He handled assembly,plates & title, all went smoothly. He however offered no warranty. Trailered home due to break-in speeds and distance from my home. Would do it again the same way.

Good price and satisfied customer too.

got a big question. My battery died, I am looking for another one, trouble is the part number 12N9 BS on the battery that came with the bike I cannot find a cross reference match to it. I bought a 12N9-4B-1 at auto zone but it was about an 1/8 inch too tall to fit in the battery box.. I cannot seem to find anyone who has one that fits this bikes box. I personally cannot afford a $100 battery as I have seen suggested... anyone know of a cross reference to this battery or what will fit the box with the correct 12v 9ah?

I replaced mine with the Litium (spell) recommended earlier post, but it does exceed $100. The battery box attaches with side brackets, why not cut off the top (leave right side 'door' tab for screw) devise a strap to hold new taller battery? Dremmel tool with metal cutting disk makes it a quick job.

I was thinking about that last night,I looked but did not notice it was bolted on..I think that is the best way to go.. It is always good to have a second set of eyes sometimes,cause it was dark last night,and I was flustered,so I kinda just had no mind to think clearly..plus it was getting late. I think cost wise that is my best bet..cutting the top off,and strapping it.. Then I would not have any issues with any type of battery as long as it is narrow enough.I might actually have the fab shop at my job make me a slightly bigger box then I can have a bit of room to cushion the battery. I unfortunately live pay check to pay check and just cannot afford a high dollar battery in one shot..and I am thinking that i will go through a battery pretty quick with the way the roads around here in Houston are,and if these lead battery's seem to be self destructive on rough roads,cushions will be a big help.

While you're cutting the top, do your self a favor & cut the rear side down lower than the present openings (for + & - connections) to allow charge clips more room for future charging ( avoids shorting, box is grounded ).

hey bowtiewagon,
are you sure the battery is bad? my battery died not long ago and instead of taking it out and bringing it over to autozone to have it tested i decided to just go ahead and charge it up to see if it would hold a charge. i let the battery charge on slow trickle charge for a few hours until it said fully charged and i haven't had a problem with it since(knock on wood).
