That "hot air" coming from HD has got to be better than nitrogen.

Yes it is, The MoCo koolaide is so addictive to some, they will never break the habit. After all, the first step to recovery is acknowledging the problem.
Recall a lot of years back, local HD service manager says, you don't come in "all dressed up." Asked him what he meant, had no idea. He said - some people wear their HD t shirt, pants, boots, belt, hat, keychains, watches - they must "dress" before they ride. Said you are just wearing regular clothing, not Harley, except for your hat. I found that amusing - am easily entertained. After that I began to notice that, yep at a HOG meeting it is a sort of fashion show. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I have a ton of HD logo stuff. I wear it a lot. But I do not HAVE to wear it when I ride.
As to batteries, Jerry nailed it as usual on HD parts. HD puts out bids, there are only a few companies that can make them, like Deka. On the newer fairing bikes you need to be a spelunker to change out the damn battery anyway, they hid them so far under all the junk.
