I went with a Duracell from Batteries Plus. I ordered it on-line and picked up in store to get a 10% discount.

Any Deka battery for a Harley that is not OEM (big crank, NAPA etc) will have the terminals recessed about 1/4" back from the edge of the battery, so you need to use spacers between the cable and the battery terminal, it has been this way for at least 20 years.
