	Loads of threads on here about this topic but call Griff at AP for the solenoid as he supplies an uprated one. Lots of discussion about batteries as well but after loads of research I bought one of these. Early days but it's been great so far, starting on the button: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTOBATT-MBYZ16H-UPGRADE-AGM-BATTERY-HARLEY-DAVIDSON-883-SPORTSTER-04-11-/400717675262?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item5d4ca27afe Lots of discussion on this earlier thread: http://rsvr.net/is-my-battery-buggerd_topic14438_page1.html

	Check out the NUMAX batteries too as they use identical AGM tech as the Motobat ones but are a fraction of the cost. I just replaced a Yuasa battery on my KTM and the OEM one was £53, the NUMAX AGM one which was a higher amp-hr rating was £33 delivered. Details for the YTX14: http://www.tayna.co.uk/YTX14-BS-Numax-Motorbike-Battery-P7544.html They also sell the excellent Varta AGM batteries
