Default Stock Battery cranking amps

Can anybody tell me how much cranking amps a stock Harley Davidson battery on a 2005 road king would have ? I upgraded to a 95 inch big bore kit and still have the orginal battery and was thinking of replacing it with something more then the stock battery.

If you look around you will find stock sized batteries available with 350A or even more. It is quite likely the current factory battery is over 300A, as these things keep creeping up with improved battery technology.

Can get a 385 cca Yusa I believe for the touring line. I believe the -97C is a 350 now, but would have to double check.

So I bought a ETX-30L, is there a big difference between the ETX with 26 Ah @ 10hr and the EOM with 28 Ah? The ETX has 400 cca.

I installed a 14.2 starter on a stock engine and I notice the difference.

That reminds me. I'm coming up on my 3rd riding season on the original battery. I have my battery load tested every year and always use a Battery Tender.
