Are there any opinons on what battery to get? My bike came without a battery so I cant check the dimensions.

I've had really good luck with Yuasa AGM batteries.

Me too, my other bikes had yuasa but they are expensive. I would like a sealed battery and I dont want to spend too much for a bike im honestly probably going to ride once or twice ever. It will be kept in a climate controlled shop.
What is the manufacturer product number too? I am new to this bike and dont want to get something that wont fit.
Thats the bike now. Lol :laugh:

I would stick with a sealed AGM battery. I have an 83 KZ550f1 (Spectre) Shaft Drive which is very similar to your ltd. I've had pretty good luck with it so far.
