Which Battery and Where to Get It

It is about time to replace the battery on my '01 carbed, but the dealer prices are unbelievable. Any suggestions on what to buy and where is the best place to get a replacement with out using the stock (factory) battery?
Thanks for your time

I got mine in town at Batteries+. Don't remember what it is off hand but the price was good.

Everyone who has replied to this tread has a fuel injected bike. Like me, sonny has a carbed 1500 and seems like somewhere I heard that the YTX20CH-BS battery is recommended just for the FI Nomads. I could be wrong, but I have stuck with the YTX16-BS batteries in my carbed Nomad since hearing this.

You should be able to choose your make and model on battery mart's website. That's how I found mine.

The item mentioned fits VN1500-G, J, L, R Vulcan Nomad, Drifter (1999 - '05). Aren't a few of those carb models?

Yeah, I saw those models listed too when I was checking around. My 2001 Luminous Vintage Red carbed Nomad is listed as a G-3 model. I might just go ahead and try the YTX20CH-BS when I need my next battery.
