New battery - where and what to buy?
Well, the original battery on my '98 GSR finally kacked this morning, and i'm in need of a new one asap - anybody got any suggestions on where to pick one up that's an upgrade from an OEM replacement? Basically, i'm wondering if there's any significant cost/benefit as opposed to spending $100 on a crappy tire special. I'm not running a crazy audio set up...
Thanks for your time

If you need some REAL customer service with your battery purchase... The Battery PIMP aka Nate is my one stop shop for car/motorcycle batteries.

thanks for all the kind words guys. I'm sooo sorry if i haven't been able to respond to some of you as fast as i would like to. work is crazy and im rarely around the comp and hell even my phone sometiems.
Especially with any one of you on the boards here i'll strive to meet your battery needs. being in the position i am, it's awesome that i can help you all out. it makes me feel all warm and tingly inside knowing that my batteries are going to good homes and to good people.
you're all like family to me *sniffle*
...
but enough of all that. anyone who ever wants a battery that doesn't know already...they're $28.75 for any type with any rating. i back all the batteries and i'll take care of any problems any of you may have.
