My question is could it be a voltage regulator or even a switch issue and is there ways to troubleshoot these items...positive and negative leads look corrosion free...i have the service manuals for this bike but dont know where i should look first after the battery.

Did you get this issue solved? What was the culprit? I am having similar issues with my '08 Ultra.

If this one goes it won't start. It's fairly common too. My bud's went and had to get it towed, last thing you'd think of.
I believe this will throw a code if it goes. The op did not mention any codes unless I missed it.

As SM sgt Tom said check the starter mounting bolts the starter grounds by being tight against the trans case if it is a little loose in could be loosing ground
