And now for the finale, yes kids it was the battery! (I know its a bit of a letdown)
I did however learn yet another thing. The EverStart ES12SBS (AGM type)that is sold at W*l-Mart will fit but, not correctly.
The EverStart manual however promises otherwise.
(unless I read it wrong)
It is shorter than the Yuasa(not a problem) equally as thick (again no problem) but wider by half an inch or so
So you cannot get the little battery door on.
Also the terminals are at the "back" of the battery.
(The cables do reach, however no problem.)
I did temporarily wire it into place but will have to find a more elegant solution. The price I thought was good only $63 and that includes the tax and $9 re-cycling fee
So when your Hinckley Classics start acting up, Buy a Battery! (just avoid the EverStart ES12BS)
If your bike runs out of gas, Buy a battery!
(just avoid the EverStart ES12BS)
When you stop for lunch, Buy a battery!
Aww, alright I guess you got my point.
:-D
