Default help!

Hey all - I'm just trying to see if anyone has any additional ideas as to what I got over in another thread

https://www.hdforums.com/m_3173262/m...tm.htm#3174127
regarding the electrical system of my dyna street bob. I'm dying to get out of work right now so that I can go try fixing the problem... Any ideas you may have would be greatly appreciated!

Take the battery to kragen or autozone or any parts store, many of them offer free battery testing. That will at least eliminate the battery.

good idea - thanks for the heads up! I just checked Advanced Auto Parts, and they have the same service (and there's one about .1 miles from my apartment. Perfect!

update:

The good news? it's not the battery.

The bad news? It's not the battery.

I went to Advanced Auto Parts and had them test the battery - they said that it checks out just fine. So now I"m left with what looks like it'll be some sort of electrical problem with the bike, and I'm not even sure where to start. I'm none too happy about the prospect of having the bike towed to Boston Harley, but not sure if I'm going to have any choice! Any ideas?
