I just put 2 new Deka 6TMF batteries in my deuce... list price is around $200, I got mine for $160 a pop. I thought about doing car batteries myself, but they arent built to the same spec as the stock batteries. The way my deuce shakes, rattles and vibrates I wanted something heavy duty that...

Thank you all very much for the fast info! A local rad shop (decent people) quoted me 100 bucks to boil, test and repair it. He was curious as to the size to rebuild it... this should be interesting... :roll:
I am looking to get a price on getting my deuce radiator re-cored, but I don't have my deuce here to get some dimensions off of it.
Does anyone have the dimensions/specs of our radiator handy?
Height
Width
Thickness
Thanks a bunch!
