Your friendly local HD dealer will check that battery free of charge. (ha ha). Yup, believe it or not they will load test it and give you a receipt indicating the battery condition. I would do that regardless.
Funny thing. On my shovel the other day, it did nearly the same thing. I moved the switch around a little and the old girl roared to life.

Yup
We have one about 12 miles away from here. Now days they sell a little bit of everything, from weed whackers to Harleys and several other brands. They don't carry much for a 25 year old evo though. https://farthestnorthhd.com/
Okay got it figured out, it was the BATTERY.
I pulled the battery and charged for a couple hours and the voltage actually went down to 10.5 volts.
I pulled the battery out of my 1989 fxstc and put it in the Fatboy, It started right up!!
Thank for all you suggestions, I never would have thought a battery with 12 1/2 volt would not at least run the lights.
