Smile Roll starting 03 Fatboy, starting problems

I posted a thread about a month ago concerning my intermitant starting problem, and the fact that I had roll started ...anyway, the problem starting has finally been solved, and I figured I would let those nice folks who gave me advise trouble shooting the solution. It wasn't the starter relay or the starter. It ended up being the switch up at the handle bar. After 55000 miles, it began to fail. Hope this helps others with that lousy "will it start this time" issue I had.
