Default Big problem NO START

Went to start the bike this mornin' and all I got was a little click in the switch under the seat marked with a red X and arrow in attached photo. I road last evening and after I came home I changed the ignition cover. That's it. Last week I had the starter off to fix a oil leak. Everything has been working fine sense. Please help if you can!!

General rule - always check the last things you worked on first.&nbsp\\; Go back and re-check all electrical connections and look for pinched or bare wires shorting out.
