Start with the easy stuff. Make sure the battery is charged and the terminals are tight. This might sound stupid but make sure the kill switch is in the run position. If all that checks out check your fuses. More than likely you left something disconnected inside the fairing, so pull it out and start checking the connections.

Check your coil wires. You may have disturbed them while getting to bolts on the lower part of the inner fairing.

I learned a long long time ago that when you fix something and it does not work right you have to do it over again.
