Just installed the battery in my old shovelhead a few days ago fired right up, super light and small compared to my old one. So far well worth the money, only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars not sure of the longevity and durability yet.

Replaced the factory battery (fourth time now in 12yrs) on my BMW K1200LT with this unit. Physically smaller, lighter, and quite a bit more powerful. My LT has NEVER cranked this easily before, even with a new, freshly charged lead-acid battery.
Highly recommend, you will not find a better battery on the market!

Great upgrade to any bikes starting system. Great reduction in weight, great increase in cranking power and the OEM fit makes install a breeze. Truly the future of powersports batteries!!!

Awesome product. The Antigravity unit slid right into my stock battery box. It was just a bit slimmer than the OEM unit, but the battery came with a quality foam block w/ adhesive backing to take up the “slack”. After torquing the leads, the bike fired up instantly. I don’t know if it’s a placebo effect or not, but the bike feels much more agile in the twisties. Taking 10lbs right out from under the rider can’t be a bad thing, and I think every 5 lbs removed is the equivalent of 1 hp. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

When I got it I couldn’t believe how light it was. I must admit I was a little skepitcal, but when I hit the starter….. WOW!!!! I think I’ll have to put one in all my bikes
