Looking for a great vintage look battery?
I purchased THIS battery
http://www.scooterwest.com/items/?_page ... -Style/459
and it is a actual fully sealed battery and the lights are so much brighter than before,and holds a strong charge. You can get a Bosch vintage battery sticker from various sources for that period effect.
R69S - R60/2 - R67/2 - R51/3 - R69

Not a lot of information
I've never found a good battery for my /3, not like it matters all that much running a magneto. But I've been thinking about running a capacitor just to give a little cleaner juice. Anybody got any suggestions on a capacitor, or what kind of ratings gives a steady current? I'm looking at the following, but maybe it's overkill.

I'd consider the sharp looking battery above if I knew the dimensions.

Here's a cheaper alternative,

I currently use a Rayovac/Werker 14AH AGM battery with an R27 strap.
I actually own a Vespa GS160 and the battery you bought has a slight premium because it's a GS160 battery replica. In the Vespa world GS160 anything commands a premium. They are kind of like the R68 for earles forks.
From my owner's manual, the GS160 battery's dimensions are as follows
94mm x 83mm x 165mm
(3.7in x 3.288in x 6.49in)
'65 R50/2
'76 R90/6
Sealed /2 battery
