Default Dead Battery?

I will try to keep this as short as possible. I have a 06 Train (30k) with a brand new battery that had 500+ CCA when I first bought it. I have not been able to start my bike the past few times even with a new battery. I have all power to lights and FI. I go to fire it up and it tries to crank but then... click,click,click,click. I have had this thing on my trickle charger for two weeks. It did this to me once before but I got it started and took it to my old Indy who sold me the battery. He tested everything including my charging system and he said everything passed. I have ridden it a few times between these same problems I've had.

The only thing I have done for winter mods were coil relocation and Shotgun Shocks. I always double check the switches on my shocks to make sure they are not left on to.

Is it possible that one of these two things is draining my battery or could it be just a shatty battery? I checked and re checked my terminal connections. I have also checked for loose wires. What am I missing guys?


Thanks

My Indy checked the last time but that was after I got it started and rode the bike to him. This time I am going to take the battery out and take it to him.

For the Shotgun Shocks guys is it possible that the system might be draining my battery?
