Unhappy Help!!!

Finally got around to installing new handlebars. Ran all new wires and got the bars in place. Checked to make sure all the switches worked and everything was good. Went to put on the front brake lever and then the alarm stared screaming. Went to disconnect the batter and as I was taking the seat of the alarm stopped. Now I have nothing, no power, no security light flashing on the dash. I checked the main fuse, disconnected the battery and reconnected it and nothing. Took the switches back apart and there are no pinch wires. I have no idea what to do now. Is there anyone that can help? It’s a 16 cvo sg.

Did you de-pin the plugs, or run them complete?

Are all connectors seated properly in fairing?

If you have "nothing", start by checking the fuses. Then recheck all the wring on the right side from tip to toe.

Took it all apart today and found I didn’t seat the wires in the switch housing properly. Ended up pinching a wire that grounded out on the bars and took out the 5 amp battery fuse. Got it all back together and went for a short ride. Hope everything will be good now.
