OK, Battery installed today. This is the GYZ16H that GG is using. For the record, this battery is for the owner that wants to stuff in the biggest thing that will fit. It's a tight squeeze. My original battery had a one inch or so hard foam spacer under it. The new one replaces the spacer with more capacity. The battery is really solid and a tight fit, but it does go in. Of course, the BMW mounting arrangement doesn't make it easy and it took some effort to get the end cover back on there. I'm glad I shouldn't need to have any repeat performance!
The installed battery showed close to full charge. Pushing the start button was quite a shock. The bike fired up within the first revolution. Like instant! I don't think the original battery ever started the bike like this. Serious muscle. Thanks GG for your write up and recommendation. I hope to get my first ride this weekend if the weather will cooperate.
