I have been trying to learn about the starter in my 2012 Limited and how it works. When I thought I finally understood my bike's starter my coworker, a very experienced mechanical engineering but not a biker guy, said to me your 2012 limited uses no Bendix starter. It uses the Sprag type of starter. I would like to confirm that with you guys who know about the late model Harley starter. On some of the Youtube videos I see Harley uses Bendix type of starters but I think those might be older bikes

 

I don't know for sure but I'd be surprised if it were a sprag clutch. That would be a big change for HD.

 

sprag type theory sounds right

 

yep, sprag clutch one way rotation.

Dawg has previously posted a Toyota starter clutch part number- about $35.

Used these in 3 different bikes,the oldest is 5 yrs and still works great.

 

You might want to correct that to starterdrives instead of starterdives.
