Are these two batteries interchangeable, are the terminals in the same location?

I believe they're the same, though you can get batteries with +ve on either side. My X1 has always had a battery with the terminals the wrong way 'round and there is *just* enough length in the cables to swap them over so it fits.

Sportster batteries are exactly like tubers, but with reversed +/- terminals

I've had much better luck with H-D/Buell OEM rather than top-of-line Yuasa.....

A friend of mine just replaced the Battery in his XB12R which is PN 65948-00 which is the same size and +/- terminals placing as the SPORTSTER Battery ...

you'd better be careful about connecting the correct cable to its terminal....

Firstbuell is VERY CORRECT on making sure the BATTERY TERMINAL "POLARITY" is "CORRECT" ...

There are a lot of BUELLs have changed hands and some previous owner may have changed something ???

Thank you for the answers... The original battery finally crapped out, 8 years, not a bad run.

To the guy who wants to cover his X1 battery, I wouldn't do it, it's close enough to the cylinder without holding in any more heat with some cheesy cover. Spend the coin on a Pegasus clutch cover, you'll like it much better. Just my .01

There is a cover made specifically for the X1. IIRC it's a two piece plastic deal. Every so often they'll show up on e-bay or the classifieds here. Don't know for sure if a dealer could get one. I wouldn't mind having one myself if I could run across it cheap enough. It hasn't really bothered me in almost nine years but maybe one day.

On the battery cover-- I hung an ad in the classifieds looking for X1 parts, someone responded and may have a cover. You are welcome to post on that ad if you want--
