I'm assembling my 1971 CL175K5, and am starting to think ahead to the new battery. After looking at so many project log pictures, it's very apparant that leaking/overflow tube battery acid causes great damage to the paint and chrome. As I'm starting with fresh everything, has anybody yet sourced a modern sealed type battery equivalent to the required 12N9-4B that fits the CL/CB175 battery box?
Possibly a Radio Shack alarm type sealed unit with terminals that'll have to be changed? That's what many of the vintage two stroke guys do, and I'm certainly willing to pony up to avoid all of that potential damage...
