Optima Battery Covers Where are you guys getting them from. I'm getting ready to buy a Optima and want to buy the cover as well. I'm thinking of getting the Red Top 75/35, do they make a cover for that model?
There is only one model Optima that has the optional cover. Technically it is the wrong battery for our cars, but with a small lip getting cut off the battery tray/coolant over flow tank, it fits like a charm.
From Optima, the attractive accessory snaps on to the top of an OPTIMA group size 34/78

If you wouldn't mind, could you send me that pic later once you get home? Thanks again!
Looking at Optima's site the 34/78 is 10" x 6 7/8" Where the 75/35 is 9 3/8" x 6 13/16"
I will check my photos when I get home. Hopefully I still have it, if I do I certainly will forward it to you.

I bought mine on ebay from this seller: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQ...Zmotobatteries
They had every color under the sun when I bought mine.
I'm using the Optima 34/78 battery too. The battery terminals tuck nicely underneath my traction control.

You'll get yours looking just how you want it I'm sure.

Did you have to alter the battery tray as well to make the 34/78 fit?
