Question Starter - which one; HD or DS?
Genuine HD high performance 1.4 KW for $420 or Drag Specialties 1.4 KW for $320?

I know quite a few people that have used the Drag Specialties starters with no issue, one buddy has had one in his 01 for 6 years now.

Well look at that! However, I was hoping to find something cheaper than Harley's $430. If I have to spend that much then I'd just stick with Harley.

No help with your delema as to which one to buy but if I could ask what is wrong with your starter? I have an 07 Low Rider and it seems that my bendix drive is going south. It makes a grinding sound every now and then. It sounds like it is not engaging properely. This usually happens after the bike has been ridden for a while and I stop for a little bit and when I go to fire her up is when the starter does not properly engage. Hoping it is just the bendix drive and the parts are available so I do not have to replace the whole starter.
