Default Bike Wont Start? HELP!!

Well, went to jump on the bike this morning and head to work and the battery was dead. Started the Bobber Conversion on my 20009 Sportster 1200 yesterday and Figured all the light testing must have killed it, so I put it on the charger and drove a car to work instead. Just got home, hoping to fire it up and go for a ride, and now what? Engine tries to start but wont!Acts like it isnt getting fuel, but there is plenty of gas? I dont have a clue...Yesterday, I basically chopped up the rear fender and fender rails, rewired the taillight on the side mount, and replaces rear turn signals. Also replaced the seat with a little springer seat. What could have possible caused this problem? Any HELP is much appreciated, this is my daily driver, and I cant take my wives rig to work tomorrow, plus I dont want too. Thanks
