Default What replacement battery for engine modified '09 FLHX?
Having trouble turning the engine after a 107" upgrade and stage 1 head work. Does anyone have experience using the higher cranking amp batteries?

+ 1, if you upped the compression, the releases help a lot when starting the engine, otherwise the battery will be the cheap thing you will be changing compared to the starter.
