Need to buy a motorcycle battery in Tunisia - but from who?
Hello All:
In early April 2020, I evacuated from Tunis, Tunisia during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, and I left my Honda ST 1100 motorcycle behind in secure storage in Tunis.
I doubt that I will be able to get back to Tunis before October this year (at the earliest), and it is probable that the battery on my moto will have perished because it has been sitting for more than half a year without being hooked up to a battery maintainer.
I've done some research to try and figure out how to buy a replacement battery (a Yuasa YTX14H-BS) for this moto in Tunisia, and have come up empty-handed. I doubt very much if I would be able to carry a new battery with me when I fly into the country - even if I purchased a newer-type sealed or gel battery, I doubt that the airline (Tunisair) would accept it on board the aircraft, even if DGR permitted it and I provided all the appropriate paperwork.
Does anyone know of a motorcycle dealer or parts supply organization in Tunisia - preferably in Tunis - that I could contact to order ahead of time and pick up when I arrive a Yuasa YTX14H-BS battery? This is an uncommon battery size for North Africa, the Honda ST 1100 (PanEuropean) being an uncommon motorcycle in north Africa. I doubt that anyone would stock it, but I am hoping to find an organization that could order one for me.
