Default sportglide speedometer

I changed the bars on my 2018 sportglide yesterday. All switches are working fine and bike runs however my speedoneter is not workingat all. No lights at all. I have checked the fuel tank console connection plug and still nothing. Any ideas what may be going on? Thanks

Nevermind. Forgive my stupidity. I guess it would help if I had the plug in the right way. Working fine now

how tall are you and do you find the 12's high enough? I have a 2020 Heritage and was looking at 18 inch Hell Bents, but thinking they may be too high. I'm 6 foot.
