hey buddy I am pretty sure you need to take a whole bottle of chill pills. I have installed many of the ytx12a-bs batteries because.. well lets see I work at a cycle shop for one, and also its one that specializes in cannondale's. actually its haydug cycles, and I am pretty sure that battery fits perfectly. actually I have a battery here that I will bet you on it. sounds like you are who screwed up, you were dumb enough to bust your battery tray trying to put it in. Better go back to the drawing board.

the stock one is a "9" size the length and width are the same but on the 12 the height is taller. i had to pull my starter and the fuel pressure regulator and grind some out of the battery box to get it to fit, a little extra time but it is worth it, i was going to go with a 2 battery set up but not know, it works great
I too just did the 12, shes got 180cca now! I already had the battery from my R1 , otherwise Id went w/the other that fits w/high cca. Yep, pull starter, grind a tad out of the box. I built a small brkt. w/nutserts to remount the fuel pressure reg. Timely but worth it.----Proflow
Well, I had to be different I went with the Odyssey PC545.
CCA: 185
Pulsed cranking amps for initial 5 secs: 545
Weight: 12lbs
2 year warranty
Battery is a dry cell battery with superior vibration resistance.
big catch is that it is about 1" wider so I have make a custom box for it, but it fits in the space provided without having remove anything. Once the motor has a high comp piston I'm sure the pulse cranking amps will be nice especially in the winter here is Wisconsin.
I picked this one up at batteries plus, retails for $120 but I get my work discount Battery is also listed on the that batteries4everthing site listed in this post for $89 plus shipping.
