Street Bob electrical issue
So I’ve had a 2007 Street Bob for about a year now, and just recently I’ve had a power issue on start up. I have power when I turn the key, but when I try to start the ignition the power completely goes out. If I hit the battery cover the power comes back on, but it will cut back off when I hit the ignition switch. I can occasionally get it to start up if the seat and battery cover are off. Since the battery is new and has been fully charged, my initial thought was a short in the wiring, but I haven’t been able to trace anything down in the battery wiring so far. Any thoughts on where I should be focusing my efforts?

check grounds
make sure the connection at the starter is good since most machines jump power off that connection for system
sometimes when you run a high inrush current through a wire, it will move and if the termination is iffy, loose power, a good smack might travel the wire and reset

Bump the battery and power returns. Sounds like you need to check your battery cables.
A member use to tell of someone who had a similar problem and discovered the pos cable had corrosion under the insulation and caused the same problem. Check your cables and ohm them out.
