Some company called "BAT" or something like that makes a 12 lbs. battery thats almost as good as factory battery. I think it has a little lower CCA

battery size shouldnt affect your stereo unless you listen to it with the engine off.

Harley batteries ... sounds cool but I would wonder about how many amps that size battery could effectively handle under the load of a Honda alternator. Not sure what Harley stators charge at (amps), but sounds like a really short lived weight gain. You may actually fry your alternator after a while if the Harley battery has a considerable amount of resistance(overheating alt.).
