Default Starter Issue

Have a delema with a 08 ultra with a Fuel Moto 107 kit
I have been thru 3 starters this season and im flustered, besides adding comp releases what is a good brand of a high torque starter to use ? I want it to last.

I've been running an Ultima Thunderfire with my 113" for about 30k now with no problems. I do have compression releases though. I know its more work to pull it apart for the machining, but the compression releases would solve your problem.

If you are at a gas station some time listen to guys hot start a 96" and you will hear them buck, but with the 103" (CR's by default) never an issue.
Funny Jammie didn't insist on them.

If you install the cr's you will not need to mess with the starter.
