Air filter and battery
JustcallmeMrT:
Hi all, more advice needed. I'm looking to keep a fairly stock setup for now and was wondering what you recommend for air filter elements and battery? I've seen the stuff from DSS and CMSNL, but wondering what the real world says. What are you guys running and where can I get it?
Thanks!

If the bike is going to sit idle for long periods I recommend a Motobatt battery.
I tend to stick to genuine filters

Agree about Motobatt. I got one of these:
http://www.motobatt.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=106&year=74-78&cc=550&manufacturer_id=16&category_id=63&model_id=296
That's your model but it comes up the same for a 400F (for me). Look around for the best price, of course.
No bags of acid to squirt in (and spill out later). Bit of a squeeze getting it into the battery bay, but all good in the end.

I've read that the charging system on the cb can reduce the life of these glass mat batteries - any experience with that?

Only had it 1 yr and don't ride the bike that much so no, I couldn't comment. Unless your usage patterns were different perhaps it doesn't really matter? Anyone else know?
