Default 2008 RoadGlide won't start

End of last year I attempted to start my bike, it turned over sluggishly then a funky grind and stopped. Now it won't turn over at all, the fuel pump cycles and then nothing when I hit start button. I changed the battery, starter, voltage regulator and starter relay under seat. still nothing.

HELP!

Check all the battery connections and clean them. Is the new battery fully charged? I just put a brand new battery in my wife's bike and the guy told me it was fully charged and ready to go...he lied...it started the bike but it was not fully charged. Start there...always start with the easy free stuff.

Yes check the charge. It should show 12.6 volts across the terminals. Also cycle the kill switch a few times.
