Sounds like the starter relay or circuit breaker which are cheap and easy fixes.
The relay & circuit breaker on my '86 Sportster is under the seat. Yours may be in the headlight assembly...? Hence, the 'clicking' sound.
The relay has 5 pins (or connections) numbered: 30, 85, 86, 87, 87A (which there is no wire connected to this one). If this 'clicks' it doesn't mean that it is good or bad, just means it's getting power which tells me that the starter button is good.
If you hold the starter button in and the circuit breaker is clicking off and on it means you have a short somewhere in the wiring or a circuit component but the breaker is good and doing it's job.
There is an off chance it could be a bad solenoid but start by replacing the cheap stuff.

It sounds like you may have a bad starter relay. I'd investigate the clicking that you're hearing in the headlight. That's where I'd start anyway. You didn't give me enough information about the bike nor the engine. The frame is a Wide Glide frame which is different from a Dyna Wide Glide frame. This S&S engine could be an Evo or a Shovelhead but then you said you buy parts for a 1988. That would be an Evo engine.

If your bike is equipped with a NIppondenso starter like an Evolution engine, there is a single wire that plugs onto the starter just above the five sided plate on the right side end. Connect a test light or a volt meter to this wire and press the start button with the switch on. You should have battery voltage on this wire. It should light the light. If not, the starter relay is probably bad. That's may be what you're heaing in the headlight although I've NEVER seen a starter relay in the headlight. They're usually somewhere around the battery tray. It's a one inch plastic cube just like the ones on automobiles.
I hope this helps.

Good Luck
