Yuasa wants around $160 for a battery for my bike. That is why I'm not getting a Yuasa. I wouldn't get one of these either because I should loose 5lbs (or more). Until that happens I don't need a battery to do it for me.

A few things I would be wary of is it looks like the wires are higher gauge than what I normally see coming out of a battery. The battery may be lighter, but it still needs to deliver the same power to crank the bike over (I'm guessing your Husky is electric start). These batteries may not be designed with the application in mind for which they are being sold. With that in mind, these batteries also don't typically like rapid discharging (starting a bike) so it might not last as long. Last thing, if you start looking for another battery source do not look at Lithium Polymer (LiPo). They occasionally get all explodey on people.
