Put plugs back in, and sprayed some fogging oil in the cylinders. Decide to pull seat check voltage 12.93 volts. Let's try it one more time with everything in running order. She kicked over and almost started, I'm sure it's the left over gas in gas line or the fogging oil lighting. Also again looked in oil tank barely any at the bottom, and it's not pucking out the hose from air cleaner.

When I've had one only trying a 2 second shot of brake clean in the carb with the slide held up has fired up many a motor.
They can backfire stay outta the way. Redneck diagnostics
Have seen to much oil in a crankcase make a motor hell to start. Not on a HD but other motors including a car. That another story tho
Pretty much gave up on this one. That's the third time battery has been down. Did they load test it for you?
I personally think your vote meter, battery and starter are junk.
You have so much after market junk in a row, your fighting a loosing battle.
I would get a new battery and charge it over night on a maintenance charger. Get a new meter. Bench test starter and it it doesn't work, send the starter back.

It was load tested last Saturday at Harley Davidson. Might be that the meter is not so great, and it is a DS starter that was rebuilt. At least now it's trying to start.

The only thing aftermarket is the starter the rest is OEM Harley Davidson parts. Battery Harley Davidson, the reason it is discharging is all the times I've hit the starter button trying to start it, only way the battery is going to stay up if the bike runs to charge it, or charge it back up with a charger. The last charge was slow charged at O'Reilly's, over night and there tester, didn't find any problems with the battery, it would have failed with the way they charge it, it checked good. No yellow or red light on the charger.

It still seems that the circuit that goes to pin 30 on the relay is not reliably providing sufficient current, but I`m not convinced that you are troubleshooting with a fully charged battery.
There is another way to wire the relay: you can run a wire from the silver stud on the main breaker, to pin 30 of the relay.
That will provide a nice current supply to pin 30, this is the way the old Softails were wired.
