Gotta replace the starter!
Well, it looks like my starter took a dump. Going to pick a new All Ball starter this evening. Any tips and tricks to changing it out that the manual won't list? Special tools etc...?
Got the gaskets and fluids ready to go.

very simple to change. when i did mine i went with the high performance one from Dragon. i didn't use 1/4, i used my 3/8 socket set. also i have true duals, so i loosen up the rear exhaust pipe so i could move it around a bit to give me a little more room. 15 min job and im no Harley tech.

Damn man, you must spin a fast wrench! lol It's gonna take me 15 min to drain and remove the primary cover. lol
I'm gonna have to remove the rear exhaust in order to get in there also. Might have to loosen up the oil tank too. Just trying to get my ducks in a row.

If you'll put a swivel on that allen socket,you might not have to remove as much stuff as you think.

If you have to use a swivel, wrap the flexible part with a rubber band or two. It will hold the swivel a little straight, but still alow it to swivel. That makes insertion of the allen easier. Hope this helps.
