Well I can definitely say the battery issue is resolved now. Just got a chance to ride a little today, and with then new cables and battery it starts up like a champ now. I even had it sitting a few days off the tender and it still fired right up. Thanks again for the help and suggestions.
That's what I wanted to hear! Nicely done...

Totally different subject, but just for info a mate of mine has got one of them Lithium Batteries on his Sportster, and he never even hooks it up to a tender, leaves it all winter, and it just fires right up in the spring, bit on the expensive side, but maybe a thought for those who forget to hook up to their tender, however not sure how it copes in the extreme cold.
