[QUOTE="olderNOTwiser, post: 1447035, member: 21195"] 80,000km (about 50k miles) on the bike. I bought a new battery and tried to install it. Ran into a problem described by others. The size of the battery is critical. The new one was identical in every spec except width. Slightly wider. As a result the new battery did not fit in the tray. Sits too high to the attach the anchoring bracket. Lucky the store guaranteed fit and took it back. Now I have to find another. And yes the trailer is special in my opinion. The way it adds huge storage without impacting the spirit of the bike is amazing. It wasn't cheap and shows it. Vanishes behind the bike and would never drop a wheel apexing a turn. I loved the way it attaches to the axle not the frame so it doesn't load the frame at all. Since it connects in two places - both sides of the axle - there are no rattling chains. You can still split lanes if that's your thing. And the first time you stop at a motel and just roll your stuff right into the room you will love it even more. I found only two downsides. Fully loaded it does slow the steering response and backing the bike up (and don't even THINK about parking in a forward/downhill orientation) unless you have someone to pull on the trailer 😄 [/QUOTE]
