Good to hear you got a ride again!Well, at 74, and some rather rough old age stuff going on, I had not ridden any of my 6 motorcycles in months. Yesterday, I got bold enough to take my favorite Rocket (05 with 2015 engine, header, etc.) to the Diner for a nice steak dinner. WOW! I had actually forgot the power of these machines. Permanent grin for sure. Also as a tid bit of info, I have one of the "Antigravity" lithium batteries in that bike. It had sat so long, no tender, that it just briefly flashed the lights before it went dead. I popped the seat off, pressed the built in button "jump start" feature of these batteries, and she fired right up! Pretty neat! Now this morning, I am a bit sore, just from my ride. Ahhhh, old age......
Amazon out of stock but RevZilla has those wonder-batteries in stock, expensive, but easier than making sure you have a cheap lithium jump starter with you. They may be cheaper elsewhere so just Google folks.

That was what @cootertwo has fitted but the Amazon link he provided has sold out.
I just googled "ATX- 12- HD" for alternative suppliers.
The dual sets of terminals should make fitment very wide indeed.
So if it fits, it fits.
| Product Dimensions | 3.4"D x 5.9"W x 5.2"H |

They even provide an easy guide:
This Lithium ATX12-HD-RS Battery replaces these Lead/Acid Batteries: BT12A-BS, BTX14-BS, BT14B-4, BTX16-BS, B16A-AB, BTX20CH-BS, ETX12, ETX14, ETX14L, GYZ16H, HYB16A-AB, YTX12, YT12A-BS, YTX12-BS, YTX14, YTX14-BS, YTX14H, YTZ14S, YTX14H-BS, YTX16-BS, YTX16-BS-1, YTX20CH, YTX20CH-BS, and KMX14-BS

Those dims should fit easily.
I love the two sets of terminals!
I might just have to risk the bucks and see.

I have never heard that before, but then I have not ridden from Tacoma, WA to BC before March 15 either.
How long has that been a law? That really sucks!

A spire 57. Older folks can afford a $20+ motorcycle.

Seriously? I grew up less than a mile from Canada, I never heard of that before. What about 3 wheels?
