My stock battery started leaking a couple of years ago so i replaced it with a Red Top. It has been a great battery and I would reccommend it to anyone. If you keep your eyes peeled you should be able to come across a good deal on one. I bought mine for $89 through one of the big mail order companies.

Default Optima Red Top Battery

I have the Optima Red Top battery. I had to replace the factory battery so I bought it. No problems whatsoever. They are supposed to be very durable and they can supposedly last up to three times the life of a normal car battery. So far so good.

I had one in my previous ride and never had any problems with it. They are very well constructed IMO
