a simple task of taking the solo seat off & putting on the 2 person & sissy bar got real ugly. found bare wire on the brake lights, wrap them, tried to start it to ensure they were fixed & heard something click. now bike wont start, does nothing, & the rear lights dont work. Headlights work, oh & the digital odometer on the speedometer doesnt work now either. any suggestions other than taking it to HD?

checked all of the fuses, they looked good except for 1 of the 15amp switched it with the spare. still nothing. havent checked the batt terminals yet? could it possibly be the ignition control module, or the turn signal/security module? think im gonna try disconnecting the battery & see if that resets it.
