I have the same issue on my 1995 FLHTCUI 30th anniv. edition.
I recently replaced:
rotor
stator
regulator
cir. BRKR
starter relay
funny thing is that if I push start and ride for a bit, it will start again if shut it off.
until the next day - then the infamous "death-click"
any thoughts on this?

There's also a sticky at the top of the Evo Section about adding a second relay to cure the Click O' Death. Should solve your issues.

Your gonna have to add a relay.
See the sticky at the top of the page about adding a relay.

A second relay won`t help on this model bike.
The starter relay on this model bike already gets its power directly from a breaker.
Goofed...See correction in post 53.

Then what is your suggestion?

My suggestion is for the guy to stop troubleshooting by buying electrical parts.
Charge the battery and have it load tested.
Remove the end cover from the starter solenoid and inspect the electrical contacts.
