For giggles and grins, I checked my service manual and owner's manual (2002 FXD) and the fuse labeled J-I is for accessories. Mainly for TSSM, if you have it and the turn signals. check the turn signal sockets for corrosion that maybe providing a path for power. Also check the TSSM unit for corroded plugs. Just another idea.

Have you checked your work?
As in the Starter, and connections. Was everything fine before you replaced the starter?

He didn't say if it was new, rebuilt, or used.

The only things that fuse feeds, according to the schematic, are the TSSM, the alarm siren, and something in the instrument assembly. Unplug them, one at a time, until you find the problem.

It's the speedometer. You can get current mileage by pressing the trip button with the key off.

Could be but I`d think the draw would continue after fuse removal
