Put your voltmeter across the battery and tell us what the voltage is. It should be high 12s or low 13 volts. If the voltage is good then with the voltmeter in place, hit the starter button and see what the voltage drops to. If it drops a lot with that loud click, the battery is probably shot. How did the auto shop test the battery? Best way is with an AVR type instrument and a carbon pile.
Sure does remind me of a loose connection though. Will allow a small amount of current then when you draw a lot, the connections arcs and breaks.
I'll give that a try. They tested the battery with a small black device with short jumper cables hanging off of it. When I tested the battery with the voltmeter it was around 12.75 volts, but was out of the bike at the time. I foolishly dropped the bolt that connects the cable to the negative battery terminal and it landed somewhere behind the side cover. Once I track it down or get a new one I'll try this. Thanks for the advice.
