    Curious if someone would be kind enough to check their battery dimension for me? I bought a new battery today for the 1990 project bike. It didn't come with a battery for me to compare to. Needed to run into Batteries Plus for a camera battery and picked up the motorcycle battery as long as I was in there. The one he looked up and sent me home with appears like it might be a good inch too tall. Since the bike is tore down to the frame, I can't really tell for sure if it'll work or not. The battery he sent me home with is approx 5" x 3.5" x 6.5" tall. Looks like it would need to be closer to 5.25-5.5" tall.

    Hey, I've got the YUSA YTX 12-BS. The dimensions are 6"W X 3.43"D X 5.12"H according to several websites. I went out and measured and I came up with 5-5/8"W X 3-1/4"D X 4-1/4"H. Hope it helps.

    I saw that battery recommended in another thread when I got home and started poking around. That isn't the battery I was sold.

    The brand that Batteries Plus pedals is Xtreme and I have model CYL14A2XT or 14A2-XT also XT14-A2

    talked to batteries plus. Apparently he pulled up the battery from a VFR F750 instead of a VFR750F. Never heard of an F750 but they are making the exchange to the right battery no problem.
