keep it simple and do without the battery.  The horn will be a problem
though.  If you do want to run a battery, capacity is not important as the
bike is kick start and has no computer.  So the only real considration is
the physical size.  Look for one that fits the space on the bike and has the
right kind of terminals in the right places.

Hi Stuart
Good thought ...BUT...not all Duc singles are Magneto ignition and I suspect
from the way Robert wrote his note that his is battery ign.  I also strongly
disagree about capacity... as I noted in my previous post...he'll want the
most capacity he can get...  that way the battery can get a good head of
steam..either by the bikes weak charging system ( when the headlight is
"not" on) or occasional wall charger between runnings  such that it has some
capicity when the headlight is burning...
