Did you check the fuses and / or fusible links? When my old bike died in a similar manner it was a single fuse that was the culprit.

fuses are all good.

charging the battery off the bike now, to see if it [somehow magically] has a different result. They've already agreed to RMA and test it for me.

And since I have ALL the plastics off for the moment, I'll probably go through and do most of the other stuff I need to deal with before I button it back up again.

A charging system? On an Italian bike?!

You're supposed to park it where it can be unbelievably chic; Italian batteries collect power from positive female attention.

What do you think I was trying to do on Monday?

you own a duc. they eat batteries. get used to it. keep it on a battery tender whenever you are not on it. that is about the only solution.
