08 fat boy battery dying
I have an 08 fatty with lots done to it. The problem were having if the bike sits for a few days the battery dies. We have tried to see if anything is drawing off battery when idle but cant find anything. My dealer has put 9 batteries in all done by warranty any ideas what the issue might be cause my dealer cant find it. Thanks

I would first eliminate the battery. Leave the battery sit for a few days disconnected and see if it loses charge.
Second thing is disconnect pos side of battery and put an amp meter in series with battery with the bike off, should see a very small draw, I believe its only milliamps.
If your getting a large draw, start unplugging stuff until you narrow it down.
All it takes is a chaffed wire somewhere.
