Greg, are you running one of these starters that you provided the link for? I looked at your extensive list of mods in your profile and did not see it. I will definitely buy one of those if mine ever gives up. I bet the stock starter from H-D costs more than the good one. Buell should have installed them from the start. (no pun intended ) Thanks

My 06 Uly bought new in Feb 08 is still on the original battery. I use an Optimate battery charger on it twice a week and it is garaged in a warm country (Portugal)

I'm running one of those aftermarket starters. Made a huge difference in starting my '08. The finish is a bit lacking, but for that price you can't go wrong.

I'm running one of those aftermarket Lesbion bits of clit. Flaps en all?

Yeah you have to watch out for those flaps on the lesbions. The flaps work better when they are new but if you keep them clean, they will last a long time.

I read something about the Li-Po batteries today. Apart from the normal stuff of high CCR and sharp/dead voltage drop (once discharged) they are not good below 0C nor do they like the "stop/start" stuff of a road bike. More for race bikes it seems.

Cost a bundle as well.
