I was going to buy this but when I checked out the dimensions I saw It doesn't fit my '05 1600 Classic. I ran into this the last time i bought a battery for this bike. My battery is 5 3/4" long by 3 1/2 wide. The Yuasa YTX-16-BS has a larger case and wont fit in my battery box. Last time I bought a Sears Diehard YTX-16-BS and had to return it...to big.
I found a correct size YTX-16 on line for $69 shipped. Ordered one today.

I don't understand why there are two different size batteries with the same part number but buyer beware.

Price was 155 shipped. I ride all the time and will report back good or bad.
Hope all is well,

Got 6 years out of my OEM battery, and replaced it because I felt that was long enough. I bought a gel battery, a little more expensive, but I expect good things. Use a battery ender to keep it charged in the off season, and will last a lot longer! Pay attention to the cranking amps, and get the highest you can afford.
