You could get one from Autozone, which recomends the following battery, but verify specs with the user manual.

Just put a similar one in my wife's Honda Rebel.

I highly recommend the sealed batteries (there are several chemical types) because they cause far less terminal and cable corrosion.


Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
