Thanks for the help guys, it starts immediately now!
The issue turned out to be I had connected the battery ground to the frame, then moved up the frame and connected the frame to the bell housing. Even though the first connection to the frame was really tight there was some rust under the connection.
I wound up with a new battery, used a rebuilt starter, replaced the hot side battery cable and hooked it up directly to the starter solenoid,a new ground cable (twice the normal size) that I connected to the bottom bolt connecting the starter to the bell housing.
Enjoy your ride and thanks again.
