[FC] Battery Hold Down

[Robert Marlow]

Easy fix -- use longer j-bolts, available at most auto parts stores.  
Admittedly, the j-bolts that I found that would accommodate the Honda 
battery were a little too tall, so I had to cut them down slightly, but 
not a big deal.  Works well and looks sufficiently stock for me.

Is there any battery that fits and will accept the stock hold down bracket? If not,what do you suggest? I could re-order the old school type battery with the fill caps all across the top like the last one but it didnt last very long before it peterded out so that doesnt thrill me much.
