Paul, you could try asking the RC's view of using a gel battery tho? Not OE to the older models I grant you, but is used on the later bikes. In fact, what prob would anyone have with competitors using batteries which are easily obtained that will fit these bikes? I had also looked at the little DUCATI OE ones from other bikes too. We have gel one on the 620 & std lump of stone in the 583. Alan |
