Deluxe Won't Start
OK I hopped on my bike this morning to do to work .... It doesn't start. So thinking it's the battery, I grab out my little jump starter. Still nothing. Strange thing is the headlights are still bright. Any ideas what it could be ? I have noticed it's been hard starting lately. Doesn't fire up on the first crank.

Bring your battery to the dealer and see if they can start one of their bikes with it.
How old is your battery? I'm guessing it's the problem...
just saying...

What year is the bike, is it FI or carbed? If a FI bike, does the fuel pump prime when you switch it on? If not, check your fuses...

Thinking it should still be under warranty and unless He's had some Elc probs, the battery should be good to go..!!!!..

I had a similar problem with my '07 Fatboy. She would crank but not fire. It turned out to be a blown fuel pump fuse. Changed the fuse and she has been running fine even since. That was over four years ago, a 15 cent fuse was easier than a trip to the dealer and definitely much quicker.
