I have that Westco in my A14 now. It's a 'hair taller than the stock Yuasa, so the plastic battery cover won't fit back in its slot. I was a little concerned about the batt bouncing around, so I 'glued' the batt in its box with some velcro and replaced the plastic cover as close to its original position as possible. No problems so far in 2k miles, including some nat forest roads - jeep trail type -, ATV trail, and a low-speed drop or two. Dave Richmond
