I pulled the battery today, voltage was at 12.7. Which is where it should be at full charge. Went to HD dealership and asked them. The "LORNG" pertains to low fuel, which I never go below 1/2 tank.....so??? The other, "VINTR"..., they could no tell me for sure, said check to make sure battery terminals are tight. So, I cleaned terminals with wire brush and sand paper on wire connections. Put on some dieletric grease on contacts. We will see what happens now.

The VINTR you are seeing may actually be saying "VINERR" which stands for VIN error.
This usually happens when the ECM and speedo communicate and see a mismatch in the VIN between each other. Typically when one or the other are changed. This is not the situation in your case obviously.
However, it is also quite common to see it on initial start when the battery voltage drops too low as it tries to push the pistons over the first TDC.
Your battery may well read 12.7 volts but try holding a meter across it whilst starting and you shouldn't be seeing the voltage drop below 9.5 volts approximately.
Also bear in mind you've a rubber mounted motor and the negative cable attached to the engine must be good clean and tight, not just the terminals at the battery to provide a good route for current whilst cranking.

Most auto parts stores or battery retailers can load test a battery for you.
