Default 03 road king issues with ignition

I left my bike with my in laws for about 3 months...

Came to get it, brought it up to Austin. Prior to that, no issues starting. I go to start it up, bunch of fast clicks. No biggie, go get the battery tested. They say yeah, need to replace it. Bought a new battery, same issue. Bunch of fast clicks, considering the battery is brand new, i know it's not that at this point. Checked the 15amp fuse for the ignition, in the box it's good.

Starter relay fuse(big gray one) ? Starter solenoid it's self? What would seem like the next logical step?

Edit: got the starter fuse, no dice.

Starter seems to be the culprit. Im pretty mechanically inclined. Anyone have expertise in pulling one off? I assume the pipe has to come off to get at it from the right side?

I would suspect the battery first. It doesn’t matter if it’s new or not. Have it load tested.

Take the small control wire off of the starter solenoid and connect a wire to the large lug on the top of the starter solenoid (battery wire) and jump the battery to the solenoid control input. If your starter and battery connections are good, it will crank over. Just make sure you are in neutral!
