1150 GS Battery...

Motorworks sell the same battery as the OEM one, and they'll deliver it

just make sure you pay the extra for signed delivery as my order has gone missing and apparently i have to wait at least 15 days before they will send another !!

I personally wouldn't trust any high-value "supposed branded" products off ebay - fake labels are so easy to produce

Hope that helps

Don't waste your money on Optimates or any other trickle charger unless your bike sits unused for extended periods of time. There are dozens of stories on here from people who keep their bike on a trickler and only discover that the battery is dying when it's already dead, the steady demise hidden by the trickler. I'd rather it failed to start at home or even gave me a clue of impending trouble with sluggish cranking.

...Thats an interesting point (..Having just bought an Optimate )...I'd never really considered that aspect of battery "maintenance"...I live and learn...
