I replaced my 6 year old oem battery with another HD Battery. The old one was cranking a little slow & I couldn't find any info that there are any out there any better than the HD.

What I have learned over the years is the quality of a battery is in the amount of lead content used in the manufacturing process of the battery (as determined as a cheap knock off brand or the stringent specs from the OEM). But all in all a battery will last a long time if properly cared and stored and good vehicle electrical maintenance.

I am absolutely convinced that if Harley sold air, some people would swear they had better luck with Harley air in their tires than regular old common generic air.
