Ted, this is from Bill Silver's restoration guide and it states:Steady Teddy wrote:For you guys that drive your bikes regularly, what do you like to use? Maybe I should pick up the old school battery and put it away for shows and use the sealed unit for in between events? :^)

"Frame, Side cover, Tool Board, Battery Ground Strap, Tool Box Cover all changed at CA72-
1000330, CA77-1010862 for installation of the 12N9-3A battery used in CB72-77."
The retro battery on the bay vents on the opposite side of the 12n93a and wouldn't fit in your bike anyway. You should have no problem locating a battery for your bike locally. Jeff.
