Default Need A New Battery

The battery on my 2006 FLHX-I is shot, can anyone tell me what Harley used as the OEM battery when the bike was new back in 06? I want to replace it with an original...

many of us ( most?) use the Big Krank, which is made by Deka/ East Penn.

and usually about $100 from battery mart or amazon.

the same manufacturer makes a very similar battery that'll run you about $160 at the dealer

I just went out this evening to take a ride, dead battery, only lasted 7 years LOL,
Quick trio to Advance Auto Parts and a little cash, good as new. I know it will be hard for some to believe, but it started up with a battery that didn't come from a Harley Dealer.
