My little gel battery in my 16H has packed in and even my normal 6v 4Ah battery isn't keeping charge, I thought it was time to get something better. I know a few people that have said the larger gel batteries wont fit in the battery box. The Cyclon 6v 8Ah fits easily and has more power. My local battery shop wants about £23 for one of these, but a search on ebay found this bloke selling them for £10, that's gotta be a bargain.
The dimensions of the battery 135mm x 100mm x 50mm, as Ian says, it fits easily into one of his battery boxes. At that price I may get a few more for the other bikes
yes Ian, i am strugglig with a hollowed out original....too tight to pay £15+ for a repro one, however two of Maplins small dry batteries fit in. which is about 8 amp.
besides I try to avoid repro parts on my all original mongrel bike. I Would'nt want people to nit pick.
I reconditioned an original horn and with my old 4Ah battery it made a pathetic farting sound if anything. I was going to take it apart again and shim out the diaphragm, I've just tried it on this new battery and the horn is very loud and doesn't need touching again I'm very pleased now, I can spray it and get it on the bike. People can't keep telling me I've got a post war horn on the bike then
