Well, sigh, I bought a 2006 frame off eBay for $400. Got it half
built, then noticed the subframe bolt sheared off in the frame. Could
not drill or easy it out. Sent it back for a refund to the place in
Kentuck.
Does SOMEone have a decent frame i can load good stuff onto?

I remember a while back someone posted some voltages that a OK battery
should
have! I have a 2008 on the second battery with only 5K miles, first
battery was killed
by me as when it died it was totally dry. With the heat in TX about 105
for it seems
like months checked the battery again and added distilled water to it.
When I did
ride it recently to get gas it's seemed like that battery was SHOT when
I attempted
to start it after refilling. I also start it and allow it to run 2-3
times a week for 15 minutes.
What was those voltages? If I recall it had when cranking and without?
Thanks!

When fully charged it should measure about 11.8v with no load.
When cranking (from a full charge) it should not dip much below 10v, definitely not below 9.

You are fighting a losing battle my friend. Next battery get an AGM. Then stop worrying about the electrolyte.
