Bob,

They will know what it is, just ask for a Group 55 battery. It is the
smallest car battery available, so call before you go, they may not have
one in stock. I got mine from an auto parts store, Carquest, they had
one in stock. Was fun squeezing her in there, but she will fit. This
didn't solve my hesitation during cranking though, I got a new starter
for that, just installed it the other eve but have not completed the
hook up yet, will probably work on her tonight.

Good Luck,

Keith

 Keith,
Pulled this e-mail from my files. Where did you find your Group 55
battery?
If I go into a Sears, or where ever and ask for a "group 55" are they
going
to know what I'm asking for? Or do I just ask for a battery that has
500
cold cranking amps? Thanks, Bob Hawkes 69 Ambo.

PO put a 28 Amper in mine, but she was slow cranking. Per Mark at MG
Classics and Cycle Garden, they use Group 55's, which is why I went with
one. Was going to mail order one from Mark, but found out they are
difficult top ship due to the battery acid, so decided to look local for
a Group 55 and found one. Think it's 500 cca's, Guzzi shop recommended
this size to me, so I just had to go through the hoops of making it fit.
Fits tight and is tied down well, just took some effort to get it to
fit.

 Keith,
sorry you went thru all that for a bigger battery. The lawn tractor
battery
fits well.
I looked thru the whitney cat yesterday and the listing for Guz big
twins
including loop years is a 300 cca item (cold crank amps).
The largest lawn tractor battery has this rating. I think other guys
are
