Got my battery in and was just as advertised- been in the bike for a week and I can tell a big difference in starting power vs my ytx12s. Like was previously said, he gets more in periodically and I had no problems at all and highly recommend that seller ( evapar11120 )- great deal! I was just about to drop $140 on a new one locally, too.

I was looking for a battery replacement and saw another older thread discussing how the YTZ14S (ST1300) is a better choice than the YTZ12S, due to a little bit better CCAs: 230 vs 210. It says they are new and were removed from some Honda generators, so we'll see. At $60 plus s/h, it seems like a pretty sweet deal. They have 8 left as of this morning.

Thanks for sharing such a fantastic trip -nice motivation to get out and do some two-wheeled exploring! What did you find out about the charging sitch? Stock seat? I upgraded to a Sargent and my ass thanks me every time I get on it, so a long trip like that would be feasible. Look forward to more write ups.
