Check the connections on your battery. It's a common thing especially with low profile seats. Re-tighten the bolts on your battery. I hope it will work out.

I think I have it! But the Harley shop is closed til Monday. I think it is the system relay. I took it out and moved over the start relay to the system relay slot. Now when I turn on the ignition, I can hear the fuel pump pressurize. I can't start it though without the start relay. I tried the system relay in the start relay and got nothing. So anyway, I assume if I put the start relay back and get a new system relay, all will be good. Confusing, I know, but I think and hope thats it. thanks for all the replies

You can get a relay any auto parts store. Just bring the one with you to make sure it is the same.

Maybe there is even a spare next to you working relays.
