OK so what is your question?
Where to get one?
What type to buy?
How strong a starter?

You can just go to the dealership and get a stock one.

Why are you in search in the first place?

Ebay has a nice selection. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...arter&_sacat=0
My FLHTP had one of these on it. http://www.ultimaproducts.com/thunderfire.html

1.4 kw. Worked well if you didn't spin it for too long at one time.......I burned 2 clutches on it by holding the button too long.
