seems most days anymore I go to start the Dyna and I get a high pitch sound or clicking from the starter and it doesn't attempt to turn the motor over, if I keep after it, it eventually starts the bike
the battery has a full charge, does the starter motor tend to do this as it is going down for good?
I would say that its time for a new starter. Sounds like the starter motor is turning over, but the small gear isn't kicking into the gear to start it.

I would say it is time to get a little understanding of how this system works...
If the starter motor is spinning, the pinion and ring gears are engaged.
The starter motor will not spin until the solenoid has pushed the pinion gear into the ring gear on the clutch.
Starter clutch is the culprit (All ***** sells a great replacement unit at a price much lower than Harley).
The starters used on Harleys since the `89 model year are very durable, they are common automotive starters used on countless models of autos.
