AGM battery for a 550?
« on: June 25, 2007, 11:33:32 AM »
I have one for a CB750 but can you get AGM batteries for a CB550? If so does someone have a good source/model no.?

Here is the one I put in my 350.

Works great, but its about 1/4 inch wider so I had to mount it side ways. My Clymer manual lists the same capacity for the 350 and the 550 so it should work.

I purchased an AGM battery on ebay from the ebay seller "commandospecialties".
This guy sells Norton parts and the battery fits perfectly in my '77 CB550F.

I just did a search of his user name and he isn't currently listing any batteries but you could email him and see if there are any available.

Good luck

I just ordered one from oldbikebarn.com  The order came in but no battery?? They said its out of stock so I cancelled and got something local.

They are a little hard to deal with but have lots of sohc parts

if you are talking about small gel cell batteries, BattriesPlus is the place.  they have any size battry you need.  i got a 12V, 6 amp battery that is 3 by 4 by 5.  kick only but, all the lights are bright as can be and they are guaranteed for a year
