I bought this 1989 early Davidson sportster 883 about six months ago. It’s been driving great until recently. I have no idea what is going to roll. All of a sudden it will not turn over. I just changed the oil, the trans fluid, spark plugs, and charged the battery and for some reason now every time try to turn it over because nothing clicks. The headlight is shining bright so the battery is messed up, but something is wrong where it’s not getting what he needs to turn over. I’m going to include a mini video see you can see for yourself what is happening and if you know what is wrong and why it’s not turning over please let me know! I’m getting ready to put it away for winter and I don’t want to do that until I know my bike is in good running condition like it was a week ago.

Looks like you wrapped your ratchet strap around your wiring harness. Did you crank it down tight? Might have pulled some wires loose or damaged the harness.
I had an year older than yours and that year, dealership told me, that the wire from the battery to the starter is / was too tight and could break. Check the wire connection to the starter with a meter. It could have broke.
