Everyone, thank you for your help. I gave up and finally just connected the new battery to the old battery and it started up. I had went a 4-5 days without riding in the summer and it always started right up. I guess two weeks was too much for it.
One of my initial problems when the valve cover gasket started spewing oil is I lost my rear brake on the way home. I can't imagine I'd lost it before then. It does provide a tiny amount of pressure when I press down on it, but it isn't doing much of anything. I also put two brand new ECBs on the back since the original incident, because the ones that were there had to be the originals. Did oil get into something on the rear brake pedal? I checked the brake fluid and pulled the bag and top off and there is fluid in there. Any suggestions what might have happened?
