Electrical Problem
Went to start my 98 Fatboy a few minutes ago, turned on the switch, pressed the starter button, a click down below somewhere and then nothing.
No lights, no horn, no nuthin. My test meter says the battery has 12.6 volts. I checked battery cables they're tight. Tested the 4 fuses they're not blown.
Any ideas?

solenoid and/or battery ... IIRC 12.6v is on the low side of being charged ... and it's not how much voltage you have on a sitting battery, it's about how much voltage you have when the button is pushed ... dropping below 11v is not enough to start the bike
Relay or solenoid will not cause "No lights, no horn, no nuthin"...
Remove the battery, charge it and have it load tested.
Clean all battery cable connection points while battery is out (don`t just make sure they are tight, remove cables and clean the connection points).
Until you know that the battery is good, you can`t properly troubleshoot.
