Thanks. How involved is that...you know my history . I'm not afraid to dug in as long as I've got connection to hdforums . If I'm looking at the right thing that parts about $83....from a quick eBay search.

So Rock Chalk (GO KU)
What did you end up doing? My 2010 Ultra is making some strange starter sounds also and I am wondering if I am in the same boat.
