    The battery on my bike is detiriorating. Does anyone know where I can get a lead acid battery for a good price?

    The number of times you've dropped the thing you would be better off buying another gel-cell  😀

    That hasn't been an issue, the battery is still working after 6.5 years. I don't mind topping up the battery every now and then. The 1150 has been retired from off-road riding, so it's likely to  stay a lot more vertical.

    I have one which was bought for the 1200GS but never installed, and never had the acid added to it, so it should still be as good as new. Not a cheap chinese one. It cost well over $100. Yours for $60.

    SOLD, thanks artig. How can it be shipped, and where can I get the acid from?

    The acid comes with it. Probably not wise to send it by post or courier. You don't want to come this way for a ride, do you? Could also meet somewhere in between.

    Thanks Tony, but I think we've already got a delivery solution.

    Battery didn't fit, so promised to Richard K. for the same amount. If he picks it up one of these days. The new Yuasa I ended up installing made a huge difference. The old one was on its last leg. On starting  it kept resetting the clock and barely had enough grunt to start the bike.
