Anyone running an Odyssey? I'm getting conflicting information on whether or not there's one to fit an XB.
My second HD battery is bad after only 9 months and the Odyssey in my BMW R100rs is six years old.

I'm running an Odyssey but there is not one that drops in. I like them enough that I modified my battery box to accept it. Been working great. Here's how it fits:

OK. I see that the terminals are reversed. It looks as if it is not a problem to move the cables. What else did you have to do? I don't have my bike available to compare, but I don't see what you have had to do to the box itself.

Mark, here is a write up I did when I installed mine:

this last year at the Chicago IMS, I talked to a dealer of Odyssey batteries and he said that they didn't make one for the Buell Ulysses, but he carried another line that did. I've made up my mind that I'm going to replace my battery with a Yuasa (American made) YTX14H-BS. It carries more cold cranking power and will fit right in.
