Default Starter went bad

I have a 2007 Street Glide with SE 110 motor. Should I buy High Torque starter or standard. There are a bunch of them new on Ebay. Would anyone happen to know to OEM part number for all black?

Thanks in advance for your help.

when bird in hand, always opt to a better mouse trap.

When the starter died on my 110 engine, went with All ***** replacement starter. Got good recommendations from other forum members. Glad I did, bike starts much easier even when the original starter was new.

Going cheap on a starter is never a good idea, you will loose in the end

The starter is just spinning, not ejecting out and engaging against the fly wheel.

It's the starter clutch. Not hard to replace. You can get em from all ***** etc.. 07 starters are easy to yank out..
