Where are you, the Ozarks?? Find out exactly what kind of battery you need and go to an auto supply store.

I usually get mine at K-Mart. Around $30 and it comes with the acid. Just fill it up and charge it up. They usually have a very good selection.

You won't find many bike batteries available on the internet, unless they are the sealed units. Batter acid requires Hazmat shipping.

up here Walmart and Canaian tire will carry batteries for some makes/models. If you want a sealed unit like a Yasua (sp?) then you can pretty much go to any bike shop and they should have one that would fit your unit.

I got a battery from Advanced Auto parts and it works great. I paid 60 for it. Pep Boys didn't have the battery I wanted. But in general, any auto parts store probably has what you are looking for. If not, they can always order it.

Wal Mart always have the type of battery you want in stock and at the cheapest price, their brand is called Never Start
