Cb750 battery question. Which one should I choose?!!!
« on: October 29, 2014, 08:55:59 AM »
Hey guys I have a 1978 cb750k cafe racer I'm building and I'm only running the bare minimum on it. Just the essentials like rear running and brake light, headlight, and no turn signals. Also, I'm thinking of going with Kickstart only. I would like to buy a battery that is better, smaller, and lighter then my stock one but there are too many to choose from. I know Antigravity are for electronic ignitions so can't use that. How about lithium ion? and if so what size? Thanks.

Haha right on. I lived in new Orleans for a Lil bit so anywhere south our west will work. I'm jealous of anyone that can ride more than 3 months a year!

AG batteries will work with points and condensers. Shorai is a popular brand of LiFe, Ballistic and Scorpion too are very popular AGMs.

The headlight is a large draw on the charging system, so a nice upgrade is to an LED unit. Provides better illumination and less draw. Hondaman's ignition modules also help some, plus aide your ignition to perform very nicely.

Would you have a link to a led that will work in our stock buckets.
Thanks in advance.
