Not All Who Wander Are Lost
When my WestCo recently, and suddenly, failed I did some research and settled on the MotoBatt MBT12B4 as spec'd for the FJR on the Pashnit site and ordered one through Amazon. Subsequently, a bit more research here on the Forum convinced me that I should have gone with the more powerful MBT14B4. Unfortunately, my order had been processed and shipped too quickly for me to make a change. That was annoying but it's hard to complain about expedited service. It turned out, though, that the vendor through Amazon's store-front was a place here in SoCal called BikeBatts and, while arranging an exchange, I got to know the owner, Tim Hughes. Tim ended up driving up this way this morning on his way north and we did the exchange in person 5 miles from my home. Tim's commitment to customer satisfaction is top notch.
I have zero affiliation with BikeBatts other than being a one-time customer but, based on that experience, I recommend that you check them out if you need a battery.

Also, for those who may be interested, BikeBatts also carries the SuperB line of Lithium-ion batteries which are being used, among other places, by the Ducati racing team (supplied, I believe, by BikeBatts) and Tim and I discussed putting together a group buy here for some of those. If you are interested in that possibility PM me and we will see what can be worked out.
