RE: electrics
Your getting power to the starter, how/where are you measuring? The positive off the battery connects to the starter directly, then jumps off to a circuit breaker to the ing. switch. From there it goes to the NO connection of the start relay and also splits off through a fuse then to the start/stop swirch to the start switch then back to the start relay coil connection. The relay is grounded and then closes when the circuit is complete to supply power to the starter. The ground is what is switched to start the bike. See the attached schematic from my '98 sportster service manual. Trace the whole thing out and see where your missing a connection.
