Battery is an Odyssey pc 680 and a little over a year old. Bad battery or a slow drain? Any idea where I can...

    New Battery time... Many alternatives just don't fit!

    My 99 R1100RT's Odyssey PC680 just died after 8.5 years. A good run to say the least. So time for a new one. I thought I'd look for some alternatives and many state they "fit" but when looking at the measurements really DON'T FIT. I'm not to jazzed that the NEW Odyssey batteries only have...
