Default need some help guys

Sorry for the long post. Ive got a friends bike in my shop that I installed a new set of Andrews 48H cams in today (bike is and 07 UC). I installed the cams and new inner bearings and all went well. I also bought a PCV with Autotune from Fuel Moto with a map already installed that Jamie put in. The friends bike already had a true dual Rinehart setup that he did not like because hes short legged and he said the left side pipe has burned him pretty badly more than once so I installed a new Rinehart 2-1 to get the exhaust down and away from him. While removing the true duals, the left side pipe had a bracket the mounted using the starter bolts. While removing the bracket, I inadvertantly arced the copper starter bolt and it sparked pretty good. I finished installing the cams and exhaust and decided I would fire it up before installing the PVC and autotune. Now I have power to everything and I hear the fuel pump priming but the starter wont spin. I quickly checked the fuses before I quit for the day but didnt see any burnt ones and I wondering if it could be the starter relay? Anybody got any ideas on what to check?

Edit: I do not have the O2 sensors plugged in. I put the new wide bands for the Autotune in the exhaust but I have not plugged them in yet. I didnt think it would matter but I thought this may not let it crank since the O2 harness is not plugged in.

The o2 sensors don't need to be plugged in for it to fire. Could be the starter relay of could be the starter itself.
