Title: Forum saves me money again.
Post by: lilwoody on March 29, 2010, 05:00:08 PM
The battery is crapping out in my GS and I wanted a gel bat because they are just flat out 100% better than acid batteries. Well since the forum was down I searched all the usual places (google, Ebay) and the cheapest I found was on the flea, 84 bucks shipped and it was a group 12 not 10 (just a little tall but it's what is in the bike now). I was going to have to order one today as if the bike has there's the slightest hesitation in starting or stalls or I forget to put up the kick stand before I put it in gear it's hunt up the jumper cables. Sure enough the search function on here pointed me to a gel battery 54 bucks deliverer to my door. This place is a must for anyone owning one of these bikes. Thanks guys!

damn, when I bought a new batt a year ago I think I spent a little over $100.
