I have one on my 66' CL77. Though it's kick start only, I have had great service with it for 2 years. I exercise her about 50 miles a week, the battery always stays charged.

motobat

After going through two YUASAs in two years, my first Motobat lasted five years. Second one only lasted 11 months, replaced under warranty...

You'll want a low-amp battery tender to go with it; charging with a regular battery charger won't be good for it and may void warranty.

Terminals have a way of loosening up with vibration...I've begun using loc-tite on mine.
