This one has proven popular. in 350s
Double check the dimensions though.

There are a few good ones about but may I ask why...?

I wanted a gel one...until I saw the price. There are also new technology lead ones available but the cost doesn't warrant it.

I bought a 'Turbo' branded one from Frasers of Gloucester and its made by Yuasa..pucker for 14 quid.

Beast.

Cant see the point really, the bike works well even if the battery is somewhat down, as long as it can spin up the PV's on startup and show the oil and neutral light its more or less ok...

Uuuh the "price" is the whole point.. well, at least a large part of it.
There are several reports of those $15 ! (8 gbp) Powersonic (and their competitors) Gell cell batteries outliving the OEM Yuasa type by at least 2x.
Which allows their owners to ignore them for a year or 2 longer Laughing

Get a good charger, like optimate or C-Tek with advanced charge and recovery cycles, its amazing how many times a battery can be revided to usable state on a RD...
