The bike still would not start. I put the meter on the battery ( brand new Westco AGM) and when I turn the key the voltage drops right off to near nill. Key off and plug in my heated Jacket liner - same scenario. The ***** battery is no good.

Have you run the battery on a charger? What you're describing is either a bad battery or an insifficiently charged one.
A lead-acid battery is strictly an energy storage device so you have to put energy in to get energy out. Give it a few hours of charge and see what happens.
If you've had the bike running since installing the new battery and it started OK with the battery new, it's time to check the charging systm.
