I use to own one of those 99 1500v-twin intruders, it ate batteries regulary, problem was they were too small and too low a cca for the bike from the get go new, I couldn't get a battery with more power to fit because the battery location was in front between the frame near the bottom behind the front wheel/forks... solution! I found a DRY cell battery that was small, had incredible cold cranking power, literally could start a car, paid about $110. Will probably buy another next time I need to replace a battery. As far as brand, can't help ya there, don't remember, been a while.

Here is probably what you were expecting?
I would guess maybe they did a size match of your battery so it wouldn't wobble around in your battery box as well. I know you have the battery already and shame that you installed it. Wondering if they would have swapped it out for you for a smaller one with the same specs.

Forgot to ask
Someone mentioned that there are troubles with good charging system regulation. Does anyone know if this includes the replacements that Duanage used to build? I know that most were suspected to be Shindengen but the older type not the newer series style? I'm in the market for a battery myself so thinking going this route.
