i would like to know: did the problem exist before or after switching the handle bars and/or switches, the year and model. sometimes wires get pinched when installing the switch housings. isolate the two wires going to the starter switch then (using an ohm meter) see if either wire is grounded (to the frame). anyone who owns a harley and works on it themselves NEEDS to have a service manual (bible). they have wiring diagrams. the bible will tell you everything you need to know. study it.
