I did the new starter thing, new cables, etc and nothing made any difference until I put a starter button on the starter solenoid itself (check the picture).

Now, I can go out and it be 18 degreesF and the regular start button won't start the bike - normal - but I simply reach down and hit the button on the starter solenoid itself and it fires up like it's still summer.

The only thing I can figure is terminals somewhere in the starter configuration wiring just aren't 'connecting' well anymore like in this thread https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...em-solved.html , unfortunately I just don't have the money to follow everything some day to check them all as my bike is the only transportation I own and being down even a day or two is not very easy.
