ok guys, ive just bought a battery for the k100 from these guys in the uk(they are a global company so sell across the pond too)

http://motobatt.co.uk/

the price was pretty good being only a few quid more than a budget 20ah battery from one of ther uk's main online bike part dealers, but this seems to be a well made and solid piece of kit, ive read up on them and find nothing buy good reports, and as i say, the price was very very good. this one is a 24ah unit but was only £63 including the postage. they do a 30ah unit too for anyone who really feels the need for power!!

You will find you have a very good battery. I have 4 of them and have no problems with any.
The guy I bought them from has been selling them for near 3 years now and has not had even one complaint out of several hundred sold.

Ok K Freak...name names!

Who is this Baron of bike batteries?

This merchant of marvellous means to make motorcycles move?

Ye gods man, tell us!

Seeing as you asked Gaston Plante developed the first practical storage lead-acid battery that could be recharged.

thanks...

You didn't say it like you meant it Blakey.

Dear Mr K Freak.

Thank you posting that you have four batteries from this gentleman and, as yet, have not encountered any problems.

I most sincerely wish that you could (and I stress that there is no pressure for you to do so) tell us his name?

In doing so, reinforces what a lot of people already know. That you are a most knowledgeable and intelligent man, put on this great Earth to help people, no matter what their lot is in life.

Looking forward to your enlightened reply.

Thank you,

Neil.

How does that sound RT?

Huh!

Fine.

Don't tell me.

I don't want to know.

Even if you do tell me, I will ignore you.

Well just coz you were so nice his name Brad Wiseman, used to wrench for Mick Doohan for a few years before he went international and I used to know him in Brisvegas. He now is a refugee from the humidity on the coast and has a bike shop right here in Stanthorpe.

Don't care.

wow, you bmw guys like to fall out over some weird stuff!! the battery is a motobatt, they sell em in the uk and the states, so will more than likely have a supplier on the bottom of the globe too, just google them!

We in Australia take exception being referred to as "bottom of the globe'. Just because many of us are ex convicts means that we got caught...not that we are no good. As already noted we don't go like little kids either. May good luck follow you for the rest of your days......but never catch up. Oh yeah....who won the football?

Well done Mr. Blakey, it is not your fault if the Freakster is trying to buy that battery franchise from whatshisname.
I suspect that he is tired and should take a nap and go to bed earlier.

Me thinks the Freakster is trying to corner the market.

@johnr...don't take any of this seriously. It's just the Oz way of people putting sh!t on people. It's all said in jest!

I did not come from any of those horrible convicts I'll have you know. Pure blue bloods in my family and not one of them ever got caught. One did go close when he started grave robbing in Edinburgh in the late 1780s.

I just worked it out, look at K Freaks avatar, see that trailer ?? its full of batteries
and the red paint is kept in the top box for Blakey

Grave robbing? I know, the relatives were Doug and Phil.....that way you cover your crime. It was a dead end job.
