Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my pre-1965 or post-1979 Harley big twin?

No — this starter is engineered for 1965–early 1979 big twins only. Different model years use different mounting and gear ratios.

Do I need to upgrade my battery for this starter?

No — the low amp draw means it works reliably with your stock battery, unlike some aftermarket starters that demand a high-amp upgrade.

Is this made in the USA?

Yes — Spyke manufactures this starter domestically.

How does the torque compare to the factory starter?

This Spyke starter delivers significantly higher cranking torque, meaning faster, more reliable cold starts and easier engine turnover.
