So, I am currently working on my restoration, and trying to keep this bike as stock as possible... I went and ordered the crappy lead acid battery per the manual, and low and behold it is way wider than the RZ battery box! Probably to the tune of at least a half inch.
Has anybody else had this?
I have read a lot in the Forums about replacement Gel Cell batteries, and maybe ultimately I will end up going down that road...
Thoughts?
Thanks!

I had the same problem with my current battery, although to a much lesser degree. Mine is about 1/8" bigger than the old one, which doesn't sound like much, but when the old one just barely fit, that extra 1/8" made a hell of a difference, and made it a bitch to get in. I'm not looking forward to it needing to come out!

Try YT5AL from BatteryStuff.com, it is a sealed battery and fits just fine
