Starter clutch???
I was gettn ready to stage bike to escort honer flight last night and bike kept grinding and banging when I tried to start then starter would just spin and that is all, had to push start, is that a sign my starter clutch is bad and also when taking starter out can it be done on jiffy stand without dropping the dowel spacers or do I need it up right and what is best precaution not to drop them in primary??

I have a 07 roadglide with 48k miles. I am on my 3rd starter clutch. Mine would or usually start grinding and raising all manner of hell when it would be hot as in operatiting temps.
If I would bump the starter button a couple of times it would engage and spin the motor. First one was done under warranty ,2nd one replace by myself 10k miles ago.
good luck.

Open dry primary or closed original with oil? I am asking because sometimes a primary belt drive and dry clutch will not provide oil to the intermediate shaft between inner and outer primary and no oil = sticky starter drive.
You need to remove outer primary to access starter drive screw inside then all you need is to remove 2 allen bolts to starter and pull it out other side. Check starter drive support bearings in inner and outer primaries to be sure it is not galded or dry. If running belt drive be sure to use a good anti-seeze lube when you put it back together
