Eddie,

just another thing to look at.

do you have the Harley Security System on the bike? I just went thru a dead battery in the FOB. she wouldn't turn over or anything.

mine didn't come from Alamo, but I sure like that dealership.

Anyone want to make sense to me. First post the Op calls the dealer "stealer" then makes this post that the "stealer" was pretty good to him and he got it $1700 cheaper than the other shop wanted for it. Question to me is, what makes the dealer a thief? fact that they were good to you or the fact they saved you $1700?????????????? OR is it just the thing to do , call the dealer a thief????????????????????

stand the bike up straight and take it off the kickstand.

stay that way overnight, the battery should recharge itself and you'll be able to start it in the morning.
