You aren't going to really improve traction very much, given the low power
of the engine we're working with here. A bigger, wider rear will affect
turning ability as well; it won't want to turn very well once you start
getting up there in sizes.

I measure from the top of the headlight to the top of the windshield
with the tape measure flat against the windshield and it is ~22.

Super MF Pafecta High performance YTX7L -BS, $200

Honda ST1300A Yuasa (I'm thinking its OEM.) $219
Any thoughts on which will hold up best for the $?

My experience with Yuasa has been on my 750 NH. It was on the bike when I
bought it 3 years ago, and is still going strong. I have never had it on a
charger. I don't about the different models thought. I can try looking at
the battery on my bike tonight to see if it says which one is.

He'd mentioned thinking it would improve traction. That was the point I was
