Default need battery replace info

I love my Fatboy, but the battery is starting to tire out from cranking those 103 cubes for 3 years now. Would like to know what is recommended for replacing this battery and where to get it. It will need to be hefty to crank start this great thunder bike.
(thought I should ask here since the dealer will probably charge an arm and a leg)

Many of my riding buddies have purchased so called High Tech, High Output batteries from many different manufactures only to have them fail within a couple years. My last OEM Harley battery lasted me 6.5 years without any problems. I always kept it topped off with a tender.

Check out batterymart.com. Their "Big Crank" battery is the same one HD sells but a lot cheaper
