Well I was simply goin by the majoirty vote here on the forum that the Harley batteries are generally better although a bit more expensive and should be used to replace the original. I was expecting to pay $100 or so. Not $150.

I'd have expected about $100 too. HD site has battery listed at $149.95.
Guess that's the way things are.
