Zane era 750S battery cables and sources in the US?

[dnaj]

I'm new to the forum and new to my Zane era 750F. My starter was fixed under a prior owner but I'd like to upgrade the battery cable set.  I'm in the USA. Can you tell me where to source parts for these and if you have a set of pre-made cables I can purchase? Also, what is the correct battery. The PO has an undersize lithium in it, and while that seems to work reasonable well, it fits poorly in the hole. He's got about 3 inches of foam under in and some around it. The battery is a LXF14L2-BS12, 4.45" long, 2.28 wide, 210cca but it really looks like heck with all the foam. Thanks

Stick with the lithium battery. Much better technology than any lead acid.

Most battery supply shops will also be able to make cables to suit. Just take in your old cables and they will make nice new copies.

Marty Gordon used to sell cables and has new parts also. mgordonvegas8 is his handle on this site. Comes with a good set of fitting insrtuctions too. Be careful with the Motobatt listing for this bike as the recommended battery would not fit my Zane. Zanelist is a Yahoo forum has plenty of useful information on these models.

I've done a couple of sets for my zanes. A bit of good quality 25 or 35mm multicore cable, say welding lead, a couple of lugs, 25m6 or 35m6 form your electrical wholesaler. find you local sparky that has a set of hydraulic crimpers, buy him a 6 pack, put some heat shrink over the excess metal on the lugs.

I'm lucky, I'm the local sparky with hydraulic crimpers.......
