I just got my scorpion battery but the post are reversed. I got the YTX20HL-BS. thats what the web site showed. Did you have to change the battery cables???
 
Nope.
Slipped right in and hooked right up.
Just bought the wife a harley battery the other day,
cause after 7 years her stock one finally gave up the ghost.
Hers is a YTX20L-BS.
 
I don't know, Anthony. Mine had everything line up perfectly. The + side goes on the right side and the posts are towards the rear of the bike.

you have pics?
 
Just so I know - are folks ordering the YTX20HL which has 18 amps and 310 CCA or the YTX20DHL which has 20 amps and 320 CCA. The DHL is labelled as a Harley battery but it is the one that has been referenced as the battery to buy in previous posts.

Just looked at a pic of the Scorpion battery online again and looks like the posts are the same as the stock Yuasa battery - positive to right side and negative to left side facing rear of bike.
 
good catch. Yes, mine is the DHL, the Harley model.

But you are right, both the HL and DHL have the same post layout.
 
the battery i pulled out the posts were facing forward + to the right I was able to reroute the cables
 
Harley dealer told me when I said I wanted the DHL,
that they don't make that one anymore and now its the L.
All I know is my old one I bought 2 or three years ago was the "D"
but I set the wifes on the counter and the new one matched up to it perfectly.
Same exact size, width, height, length, and post layout.
So I got it, bought it, brought it home, charged it up, slipped it in and off we rode..
A perfect fit....oh yea, forgot to mention.
The "D" was/is a harley battery for sure, but the one I got the wife didn't have the harley sticker on it,
it was a Yuasa battery with the YTX-20L-BS imprinted into it as well.
