i would charge the battery regardless and lightly smack the starter with a hammer a few times. then try and hotwire start it.

So couldn't fire up the cruiser today... Very strange. Lights are very dim. The dash light is super dim too. Nothing else.
Battery checks out fine. Voltage to the starter solenoid when ignition turned. Did continuity test on starter solenoid and nothing. Wondering if that is it.
As I mentioned I've had sporadic starting issues in the past. Wonder if starter solenoid finally bit the dust.
if it was just the brake doing it, and with all the electrical stuff you just messed with, i would say its an electrical issue still. but the clutch doing it puzzles me. the harness up around the pedal bucket might be crusty/on its way out and you are bumping it with the pedal arms and shorting something.
if you really really like that window sticker I could only suggest, however non original it may be later, is to take a picture of it and take it one of those place that do copies and make vinyl scans. it would work but it wouldn't be original ..Kinkos? some places that do wraps May be able to work with you under the table maybe? sounds like a great story with the whole coin flip....
