Battery install
While this battery was not a difficult one to install, it did take a little figuring out how to get the terminals set right and once in it started the bike right up and cranked it over like a champ. I am giving it a 5 but do believe that the company should make it fit like a stock battery and give a little direction on its installation. Also, wanted to say that I ordered the battery on a Friday and it arrived on Monday great service. |

High Amp Battery
Figured I'd wait to see how the battery performed after a couple of months... In stalled about 7 months ago and it's doing great. With the cable alignment issue... Either Alzheimer’s has onset with me at 45 or it just wasn’t that big of a deal. I seem to recall having to make some minor adjustments by following a previous members suggestion. (A very old posting here) See with a bit of preparation it was not that big of a fight to install. |

Solid Battery
This is my first Westco Battery, but it appears to be well made. It came with a full charge [I put a trickle on it before install and the charger went to float after about one minute]. There are two spacers shipped on the positive pole protector that I had to use between the battery and the battery cable on both the positive and negative terminals. Otherwise the battery cable connector hits on the top edge of the battery preventing proper mounting allignment. I have a 2007 Wing and otherwise the fit was like a glove. If the battery were to come with some minimal instruction on the use and placement of the spacers that would probably alleviate some of the confusion and frustration that I have read in other reviews. It did take about 10 days to receive the battery but that's probably not bad since the battery was drop shipped from Westco and had to be shipped via ground. Not nearly as fast as Wingstuff normally gets parts to us. |

Fantastic replacement
My first experience with WestCo batteries was back in 2001 when I purchased one directly from them for my 1995 BMW R100RT. I had ridden BMW Airhead bikes since 1985 and I've never heard one spin over as fast as when I put in the WestCo unit. This battery contued to perform at that level until I sold the bike in 2006 when I purchased my Wing. Now with over 5 years on the original Wing battery I purchased the WestCo again (this time from Wingstuff) and I couldn't be happier. I'm not sure what the reference is to cables not lining up. I used the included spacers and had no problem installing this on my 2006 Audio/Comfort model. I put this in in October and of course it's still performing as expected. From what I know of them I expect to get way more than 5 years from this unit. |

WIngstuff service was once again speedy and efficient. Received the battery in less than a week. My old battery came on the bike and was 5+ years old. Was starting to crank quite slowly. So, good news the new battery cranks like new. Will it last 5 years like the original? Only time will tell. Bad news: as others noted the posts do not align with the cables turning a 5 minute job into 35 minutes and new hieghts in cursing. The spacers don't really help. I know. Working on bikes is always challenging because everything is compact but come on. You have the original to copy. Shoulnt be difficult to make an exact copy of the posts. So, seems like a good battery and the price is right. But be preapred to exercise your cussing muscle when installing. |

After installing, the starter spins like a top first time. Some reviews report post not aligning with battery cables. There are two spacers porvided with the battery attached to the positive battery terminal cover. You use these to hold the cable ends away from the battery box so that it doesn't interfer with alignment. Works like a charm. |

My Yussa original battery lasted 5 years and was loosing starting power fast. I installed the new SVR and it fit just right. The 4 star rating came from the holes that connect the battery posts to the leads. They were tight. I got them to fit but the bolt holes could have been 0.0325" closer to the center of the battery. This would have made it easier to connect to the leads. I bent the end radius of the leads inward to allow the bolts to match the holes in the battery posts. It fired up right away. The battery was delivered in 5 working days charged and ready to go. Hope to get another 5 years or more now. Great product. |
