I second Darknesses advice re starter cables and the post on the starter motor.
If it is a project and therefore probably been standing for some while, it is well worth going over all the earths on the bike, battery to the frame and the engine to the frame (above and on the crankcase above the clutch casing which goes to behind the RH footrest hanger).
Another possible problem area is the 2 wire connector to the solenoid which has a habit of corroding/coming loose/generally not working. After cleaning up the two posts and the inside of the connector some have resorted to cable tying it in place.
Starter relay connections should definitely be checked and cleaned. The relays I believe are interchangeable so can be tested by swapping them over but they are not expensive and generic so you can check the ID and buy new on ebay etc.
Good luck and keep us posted
