First time installing battery in a 1330 - couldn't get top bracket right!

Brought the battery out of storage and charged it up today. Installed the battery and I had a heck of a time getting the metal bracket positioned correctly on top of the battery. Finally found my problem. I had connected the battery cables before trying to install the bracket. Had to remove the negative cable and then I was able to get the metal bracket in position correctly. Installed my new XM radio today too. It works! Now I just need to subscribe.

Took Spyder down the hill and back, it ran great. I just need to renew the registration and I will be all set for the ryding season. Bruce

I also have a 1330 Spyder ..... I wrap some sturdy cord around the battery, which makes removal quite easy .... Mike
