Default 98 flstc starter

Hey all....i have a bad starter on my 98 flstc...drive is gone so my questions are as follows...should I replace it or repair? Read forums with many different opions...if repair can an auto repair shop do it. I ordered a denso starter from Amazon but delay in availabilty...is the denso starter any good? It's part #31702-98. Anyone with hints to make install easier please let me know....thanks

You've already ordered the starter, Denso is a decent brand so no issues there.
