    I kind of know that answer from a previous charger discussion. The bike's charging system may not be optimized for an AGM or gel battery, but it hasn't caused a major issue as far as i know. Even the...

    The 11 mm sears 6 pt 1/4 in drive deep well works well with a cut down one side to clear the wires. I needed to remove a good one from my parts bike so cutting the wires wasn't a good option.
