Electrical issues
I have a 98 Sporty 1200. Went and changed the bars, and a few other things. Everything was working until I changed the worn riser bushing out.
Now I have no horn, turn sigs, brake lights, and speedo/odo not lighting up/displaying. I have checked grounds, but I am at a loss as to where to go next.

Pull it back apart and see what you skinned off the insulation. Read what you have done couple times a week.
Do a search and take your choice. Probably a fuse but good chance grounded wires are causing it.
Lot of Harley's are turned into junk this way. Be careful.

I agree with the two above. Electrical problems are a by-product of doing any electrical work, especially when in involves handlebars! It is very easy to trap a wire when tightening up the handlebar switch housings, but even easier to damage wires when extending them, especially if doing internal wiring. Carefully and thoroughly retrace your steps.

Electrical problems can't be resolved easily, so without the help of any electrician or mechanic it's possible to fix the problem.
