I'm a year behind you Flip. My Motobatt has been on 6 years almost to the day.
It went on the bike straight out of the box and has still never been on a charger.
It's not always the fitting of new starter and earth leads that makes the difference. Cleaning all the connections will often achieve the same improvement unless the original leads are of inadequate section or internally corroded.
An annual inspection and clean up helps keep them on top too...The one to keep an eye on is the starter terminal, which, if it has a rubber boot, will fill up with water and rot.
Pack the boot with grease.
Utopia has it with the paint blocking a good earth path. Powder coated frames in particular are swines for this, as the coating insulates the frame, unless you are particular about filing it off where bolts seat.
