Yep, their prices are lower but I was not able to get ahold of anyone
there and check availability. A lot of these places advertise low price but everything is on back order.
Atbatt was a few bucks higher but everything was in stock and will ship on Monday.

I went with the 27 just cause it fits the battery case perfectamente! I still put a piece of foam under the battery but I was being anal!
My mistake Drag, it's a 21 amp not a 27.

No problem, I knew you guys were talking about the 21 amp but thought I missed something since Rook quoted.

FAQ List
1) BATTERY RATINGS
How are batteries rated and what do the ratings mean in battery selection?
ANSWER:
The most common battery rating is the AMP-HOUR RATING. This is a unit of measurement for battery capacity, obtained by multiplying a current flow in amperes by the time in hours of discharge. (Example: A battery which delivers 5 amperes for 20 hours delivers 5 amperes times 20 hours, or 100 ampere-hours.)
Manufacturers use different discharge periods to yield an different Amp-Hr. Rating for the same capacity batteries, therefore, the Amp-Hr. Rating has little significance unless qualified by the number of hours the battery is discharged. For this reason Amp-Hour Ratings are only a general method of evaluating a battery's capacity for selection purposes. The quality of internal components and technical construction within the battery will generate different desired characteristics without effecting its Amp-Hour Rating. For instance, there are 150 Amp-Hour batteries that will not support an electrical load overnight and if called upon to do so repetitively, will fail early in their life. Conversely, there are 150 Amp-Hour batteries that will operate an electrical load for several days before needing recharging and will do so for years. The following ratings must be examined in order to evaluate and select the proper battery for a specific application: COLD CRANKING AMPERAGE and RESERVE CAPACITY are ratings used by the industry to simplify battery selection.

My Shorai's are scheduled to arrive on Thursday, I'm pumped. I'm so tired of these two bikes sounding like the batteries are going to die everytime you go to crank one up. The new 10R sounds that way from the day your bring it home, the stock Yuasa L-A battery is so tiny it struggles to start the bike. Get it cold soaked and let it sit for a week or two and it's toast. I'm putting a higher capacity Shorai in there, same thing on the 14.

Lol, next time hire a couple of rent-a-cops to stand behind you holding riot batons!
