My 98 Road King starter will engage for a second or two then spin.  It will engage and start after several try's. Any thoughts are appreciated

Sounds like the Bendix clutch has gone south. Been there, done that, fixed.

Yup!
some nasty sounds too?
A safe bet is to install  ALL BALLS   bendix,  clutch whatever you want to call it .

Starter clutch.

Starter clutch, and as mentioned above the All Ballz is a better unit than OEM.
