For the first time since purchasing my then-new 2015 (#69) Indian Scout, I missed my 2006 Yamaha VStar 1100 Custom. The reason for this was finally replacing my battery after almost 4 years. While I know I can't complain about the service life of the battery itself, Polaris' choice of battery location certainly leaves much to be desired. There may be worse locations for a motocycle battery than the Scout, but I can't imagine what it is. Just sayin.....
