i have a tr and love it so far i upgraded my cables also,it spins right up hot or cold. i was on ebay and saw some lithium ion batteries for our bikes,may be a good deal also.they were 250.00 and said they weighed 4 lbs
have heard it takes different kind of charging system for the lithium ion batteries. may just apply to the tender but might want to check before purchasing. i went with the braille (man. date of 5-25-11/ installed withing 2 weeks) and is doing just fine.
Ray you probably start you bike up more in a week than I have in the past 2 years
What batteries (brands) have you used thus far this year?
Used HD batteries for a few years that lasted from 8 to 12 months.
Last September at the HOG rally in McAlister, OK mine died and I replaced it with an Autozone cause it was all that was open on a Sunday.
A couple months later it died and I replaced it with a Drag Specialties 310cca and it's about dead.
Dreaded symptoms of klunking starts, flashing RPM lites and no speedometer. And most of all a weak ignition!!!!
I'm ordering the TR tomorrow if I can find the link that 55 posted
I don't know for sure but think I'm just wearing them out. Last two weren't high quality batteries though. Thats one of the reasons I don't want to spend $300 on a Braile if it's only going to last a year.
Oh well, at least the bike is still running otherwise!!!!!

Ray I set this up some time ago for forum members. I think the price is still the same. If you want a braille check it out.

Thanks again

long time , first time back in a while, and Ray's batterys are petering out!
I have the interstate in mine and it is kinda weak when it is cold but does a great job in warmer weather. I just get mine out maybe once a week though, and not riding like I did last year. But the interstate is so far so ok. Hey Ray you don't have one of those electronic warning buzzer hooked up to your gas tank that might be draining your batterys that reminds you before it runs out of gas do ya?
Good to be back ,,,

I started having issues with my 3 year old Braille, but then I charged it... Bike is running on it as long as the new Braille arrives. I was gonna go with 5-5 Battery but braille has worked just fine for me.

I would check your Stator and make sure it is charging your battery. I had a problem with that, mine showed it was charging but never above 12.8 so after a few months it was killing the Battery. Went with the Compu fire 40 Amp and it keeps the battery up to snuff even if I forget to hook up the battery Tender. Just a thought
