Default Dash goes dead

This morning as I was pulling out of my neighborhood all the lights, including the Boom unit went black. The entire dash went out. Bike continued to run normally and all exterior lights stayed bright. Then the dash flickered on/off for about 1.5 miles before it finally stayed lit. Never did it again the rest of my 30 mile ride to work. And when it did come back on the Boom unit was just as it was without going through the disclaimer screen. So it's not like the Boom unit lost power, just the display and all other dash lights went out. I'll pull the front fairing when I get home and start looking for obvious loose connections or chaffed wires. But does anyone have any other ideas as to what/where to look for an issue?
