03 Dyna Low Rider Ignition/electrical issues
Alright folks, I have a 2003 Dyna Low Rider and I am having issues. Recently replaced the battery because the old one was pretty thrashed and old. Ran fine for about 3 months. Went to start her up this morning and when I turned the ignition to run everything lit up as usual. Let her sit for a few seconds, then when I went to start her up she tried to crank for less than a second (semi sluggishly but not like a dead battery kind of sluggish) then all lights cut out. I now have no electricity running anywhere. no lights, no gauge, no start. Checked all my fuses thinking i just popped one but they are all fine. Any suggestions on where to start looking? I am worthless with electrical work. Gonna try to jump it in the morning and see if maybe the battery drained but it didn't act like a dead battery. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would first have the "new" battery load tested at your local auto parts store. Your symptoms sound like a drained battery. New batteries can go bad in a short period of time.
If the battery tests good, then try following the two charging test sticky's at the top of this page. You may have a parasitic drain, or another part of the charging system has failed.
