Greg, Here's a pic of the starter selinoid on my bike. The 2 wires in the back of the connector are the hot and ground wires that energise the selinoid. The 2 in the front that are cut are the red, red/white wires that come from the regulator. You should be able to use a test light to see if you're getting voltage to the selinoid. If you do have voltage and it won't start, check the ground..

Another thing you can do is put a multimeter across the battery. With the key off you should read 12.3vdc or so. When you turn the key on the voltage should drop to about 10.9vdc because it's just energised the ignition circuit. This should tell you if you've got a problem with the ignition switch....

BTW, You have a PM....

Take a look at what's in my fingers. That's a 30amp inline fuse holder that I soldered in to replace the OEM Dogbone fuse. I did the same with the 30amp submain inline dogbone fuse located behind the starter selinoid... That's ONLY on the Fuelies though....
