2012 Street Bob Electrical Problem
I've change the bars on my bob before and didn't run into any issues. Yesterday I change the upper triple clam and installed 8" voodoo bars. Wiring was a pain and I had to cut the mini connectors on the control side to fish thru the bars as they have a nice right angle in them. One thru I neatly soldered and shrink wrapped everything. Here the problem... With ignition on I have no headlight, tail light "strobes" and speedo flickers. Front turnies are dim and blink. With start button on the fuel pump "clicks. I pulled the wires and checked for breaks and ground issue and don't see anything obvious. Battery is charged and tendered, fuses are good to. Any help would be appreciated

I think you'll find most of the flashing stuff is the system telling you that something is not working. In this case, your headlight.
Without being there to test stuff, I'd guess you are missing a ground somewhere. I'd guess its in the right switch housing since the fuel pump and light is acting (not acting) together. (Kill switch area.)
Keep in mind that soldered joint in digital systems can cause resistance that the system might see as a fault.

Why didn't you just pull the pins out of the connector anyways probably a short on the ground or not soldered correctly and came apart. 
Also if you pull apart the connector and get a volt meter put it on ohms and test leads on it should have some resistance if it doesn't that's the wire you need to replace.
