Default Battery dieing
Battery tested twice and is good.4
I overhauled and rebuild the starter.
New starter drive All ***** I believe.
Solenoid is from Drag Spec..
The Drag Spec., one is cheap compared to the HD one.
I should have not cheaped out and bought the HD one even thowe it was twice the price???
Appears something drawing current and killing battery after 3 days or so.
Did I screw up with starter or just something that just appeared after.
Bike is 2007 FXDL Got to do some testing etc.
Bike has factory security system on it.
Any ideas would help

How old is the battery? Have tested the charging system Voltage from reg. to battery, Stator continuity test? Check out the charging test in the electrical DIY section.
