I'm 99.9% sure it's factory.
Mine's a 99 Marauder and it's the same exact setup as my friend's 2000 Intruder. The relay and the solenoid are separate pieces, with the starter relay (top pic) mounted right behind the solenoid (bottom pic).
I did some work on the bike today and the issue is resolved. The previous owner hadn't done an oil change (I'm guessing, in a LONG time) and the oil in it was thick. I'm not sure he even had the right oil in it. I put in 2.5qts of Valvoline 10-40 4-stroke MC oil and a new Napa gold filter. The bike started right up and continues to start without issue now. All I can figure is the thick sludge-like oil was gummin' up the works and not allowing the starter to do it's job.
Problem solved.

I had a feeling we had a miscommunication somewhere.
