Default No power

I have a 2005 Road king custom, went out to ride it . Turned the ignition switch on to start no power. If I turn it to Accessory side it has power. Ok so I checked all the fuses, replaced ignition switch, replaced 40amp maxi fuse, checked grounds. The only things I haven't checked is the relays and kill switch. Anyone have any ideas. I'm going crazy with this. Oh and I have never used my kill switch.

Almost 13 volts, I even tried bypassing the switch and nothing. I can hear the pump make noise and the speedo jumps. But no power

Couple of things come to mind and they are interchangeable the system relay and the starter relay. Maybe swap them around and see what happens. Then go to Auto Zone see if they can replace the bad one if that's the case.

Do you by any chance really mean the STARTER isn't working? If the pump primes, I suspect your lights come on also so you have power to everything except the starter. Big difference between totally "dead" bike, and the starter won't spin. What electrical have you recently fiddled with, anything involving the right side switch box inboard of the twist grip? Does the bike have a security system that might kill the starter?
