I'm happy with Sky-Tec's 122-12PM. It fits neatly (if 122-tooth gear) by cutting the cooler mount diagonal tube and attaching the lower tube stub to the starter. Cut off upper stub. Don't use -12LS: it wont fit. With the 122-NL you might have clearance issues to deal with.

I really like the Skytrec Starter. I also put in the light weight battery and that was the end of my problems. No more dead battery's after sitting for months and when you go to start it, It spins real fast Faster than the stock starter and batter ever could. We did have to change the stock oil cooler bracket some but it was easy. We also had to take the oil cooler out. But that was no big deal either. Its well worth the effort and money. My oil temps are always good in hot or cold weather and the charging rate is perfect. I also changed the over charging regulator as well.
