help from Sturgis???
Well the 93 Fatboy ran great for 3000 miles, but now she's having issues. Got here and the bike won't start, all lights work when I turn it on. So I got the battery tested and it had a bad cell so I got a new one yesterday and she fired right ip, and continued to do so all day.
I go to Start her this morning and once again no start, I even tried getting a jump and no luck. The only thing different on the bike is an accessory plug so I DC'ed it.
Stator and voltage regulator are both less than 1 year old, so I'm kinda stumped.
Any ideas, or if anyone wants to help a brother out with a tow from Blue Bell to Rapid city, please text 770-527-7741?
Thanks for any advice!!!

Have you done a battery drain test. Disconnect the negative post and put a test light in between the circuit. If there is a drain it will light up.
Don't completely rule out a bad battery just because it is brand new. I got a bad battery from autozone one time for a Jeep. It was doing the exact same thing your bike is doing with the brand new battery I just bought. Needles to say I was pissed when they put that brand new battery on there test machine and it came up BAD BATTERY. I have them test the battery now before I walk out with a new one.

I had them test the new one before I put it on yesterday. I charged it this morning and the bike cranked on the first try, I really think the accessorie charger was it. At Black Hills HD having it checked out. Thanks for the advice guys!!!
Well HD diD a full electrical diagnostic and it was the accessory plug, so it is DC'ed and I should be good to go.
Thanks for all The advice guys, ready for Iron Mountain and Needles in the morning! My floorboards will be a little lighter hahaha
