Ed, >
Good point on the batt.vent.On my Eldo.I have to clean the terminals more
than I like and have placed those green and red felt things under the
terminals and spray the terminals with corrosion spray.But all in all they
work very well.On my 68 I don't get the corrosion? Also as most of you
know,don't overfill them! Dave

Dave, I wonder if the garden tractor battery might cause more corrosion
in the battery compartment area? Most of the garden tractor batts I've
seen are not vented with a hose to allow the routing of the corrosive
gas away from the bike. I use HD12 batteries for an FLH Harley, but they
present a small prob too because the "posts" are on the ends. I worked
around that prob by making a different hold-down. Just a thought. Ed in
