Update. I finally got a new Starter Relay after I was sent the wrong starter relay.

Well I got it put in and nothing again. I was pissed. I finally took the positive terminal and placed it to the starter cable and it didn't budge it. I went to batteries plus and they ran the batter and said it was doing 9Vs (though it was doing 12 when I originally had the problem). Took it back and it started off!!!

The Flying Turd is back!!!

So was the relay bad or not?

I don't know. All signs from before point to yes. When I tested the battery last time it had 12Vs and a great battery load test. I'm going to put the old one in later to see if it is for sure the problem.

Regardless the bike is running! I'm going to hit the twisties on Sunday!

Sweeeet. Just curious but the end result is the important part!

I'm guessing the battery just died after sitting for a while (Especially after a load test) and the relay was bad.
