How do you tell if starter needs replacing on harley Davidson?

Usually the starter overrunning clutch is the first part to fail in a modern (post 1988) Big Twin. Unlike earlier Harley starters, modern ones have the starter motor, solenoid and overrunning clutch built into a single unit, just like a car's starter.
In fact, Harley's starters are the exact same ones used in many cars, like Toyota.
So how do you know if the starter clutch is failing or has failed? The starter motor turns but doesn't crank the bike's engine.
You can pay big bucks to your Harley dealer or buy the same starter clutch much cheaper and install it yourself. The starter isn't complicated at all.
Do a web search for any of these part numbers:

If your starter whines loud while at idle Is it the starter that needs replacing or it is the flywheel?
If the starter is whining while the engine is running at an idle you have a problem with the ignition switch or the starter solenoid is stuck. The starter should not be engaged while the engine is running unless you are holding the key over on the start position.
