I looked thru the stickies and the last page or two of this board and I can't find any discussions about batteries or air filters. I'm in need of both. Is there a consensus or ongoing discussion about our best options here? The battery store next door has an american-made replacement for $100 or a cheaper foreign version for $70. Obviously I'd go for the american version between those two, but am I missing a better option? |

the 1125 battery cable connections are a but too wide for the typically recessed caged nut systems. Adding washers is a bit weird. The flush mount East Penn is just like the HD and avoids all of the washer connection issues. |

K&N on the air filter - lasts forever. You can get the Lithium batteries for around $150 and up, but they save about 10 pounds over stockers. |

I don't fully understand the difference but shorai shows 270 CCA(a) with the above mentioned mirai at 175 CCA. Can anyone explain the difference? http://www.shoraipower.com/c.3379047/BatteryFinder /battery-finder.ssp |

Dave, how has that battery been so far? Good cranking power? Any issues in the cold? |

Has anyone tried a Mirai battery yet? They have one that will fit that has 325CCA and I like their dual terminal set up |

I threw this in on my last order for the air filter: http://www.erikbuellracing.com/store/models/1125r/ 1125-k-n-air-filter.html |

I just did that P_squared. I submitted an order for the rotor, crankshaft locking tool, stator gasket, rotor nut and the air filter at 3:05 pm yesterday. I got a shipping notification at 3:20 pm and it was on my doorstep at 2:39 today. Very impressive. |
