I would also start with the battery, just because lights are on does not mean there is enough juice to crank the motor over.

I agree. Takes a lot more to start the bike than run the lights. I'd start with battery then work my way to the starter.

I see your bob flashing it's turn signals long after the key had been turned to the ignition position. Is it possible your key fob battery just needs to be replaced or reseated? Do you have another key/fob that you can put within 5 feet of the security sensor and see if it will start then? Easier to do before messing with taking the seat off and battery charging/jumping.
