Default Starting problem

I have a 2009 Dyna Street bob
Put new bars don't know if I piched a wire or what everything turns on and when I go to start it. It starts but as soon as I let go of the start button it kills the bike. If I hold the start button down it will stay running but as soon as I let go of the start button it kills the bike.any help whould be great also don't have the control box on the bars if that has something simple like that just havnt put back together until it's running.

You need to go back in, somehow you have wired your ignition into your start switch.

It sounds like your start button is now also acting as your kill switch.
Are the bars internally wired or outside wired?
You may have mounted your brake m/c and pinched the wires.
Or, if you disconnected the block connector to the switch gear to internally wire it you may have mismatched where the terminals are supposed to go.
