The "Harley" battery is made by DEKA....Why not eliminate the middleman and just buy a DEKA battery.
I use DEKA batteries in everything I own and have been very pleased with their quality, longevity and customer service.

I'm sure there are others, but so far I've been able to confirm these. Maybe it's time for a crossover list or a sticky.

Maybe others can chime in with what they have found. O'reillys has a listing that looks right (Sure Start Power Sport AGM), but I can't confirm the manufacturer. Same deal with Advance Auto Autocraft Sealed AGM Premium Powersport Battery.

Get you a Big Crank from Battery mart. It will be on your door step the next day. Much more cranking power than the stock battery.

Or you can forget about the old AGM/wet cell type battery technology and go with something new like the Lithium Ion ... Doesnt cost much more than a Harley battery and depending on how you take care of it..you can get 2-3 times the lifespan.
