RE: BIGGER starter problems
It's time to change the Bendix aka started drive aka over running clutch. Try your local rebuilder first, look in the yellow pages under automotive parts. If he cannot help you, go to HD and buy the part or have them replace the part, or buy a new or rebuilt started.
Good luck and geton the road!!

yeah i do all my repairs myself....
It's just hard to figure out something like this....
I think i might have it figure out i think it is the starter jack shaft is stripped out

RE: BIGGER starter problems
That would be highly unusual. The inside spline of the drive is softer than the spline on the shaft. The drive would be the first to give way.
Get the starter off in you hand and take a look.
Even your HD dealer should be able to change a drive in a loose starter quicker than two weeks. I have no idea the price on the drive or a rebuilt starter, but weight the worth of the trip against the difference in price.
Take a deep breath, breathe out. Now, let's fix your ride and get rolling.
