I did it several years back, and am still satisfied. It fits soooo absolutely snug down in there though, that I'm not looking forward to replacing it, as needs done at some point in the future as no battery lasts forever. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if ever I had another Gen 1 that needed a new battery. That bigger battery is cheaper than the OEM size, and much more readily available at various stores. Not to mention the added Cold Cranking Amperage it provides and it's reserve capacity for when you are stuck in traffic and the rpms aren't able to spin the charging system to it's fullest.

Did the Gold Wing battery mod a while ago. The cheapest generic battery to fit a Wing has a lot more cranking power than the undersized stock battery. Check water regularly, never had to add any. Battery has to be at least 3 years old, and still spins the motor over like there were no spark plugs in it!

I don't remember the size of the battery needed, but someone here has that info. I think it was the stock size for a GL1200, but don't quote me on that one..

I did the Big battery mod over 3 years ago. Mine finally went out so I replaced it with this one, 13.02 volts right out of the box and 270CC AMPs.

Is there a how-to available for this? Or is it just the info in "Battteries 101"?

That's what I use in my Goldwing, highly recommended.

You should look into these batteries (stock sized, sealed AGM, 283 and 420 CCA):

I've been using the UB12180 for over 6 years now and it's still going string.

I run one----put a couple of cable ties around it to get it back out though--:clapping:
Or you can lift it by the terminals but not recommended--:bang head:
