Default Question for those smarter then me

Alright guys. I have a 2010 road king that I just installed a fairing on to, as well as a power commander V. Before I started the install of said fairing and PCV bike was running great. Got everything for the system wired up last night sound is great. Bike turns on. Go to start it and it tries to turn over but it won't run. All my electrical connections are tight but I can't seem to find out what is wrong with it now. I've read where people were having issues with fuses blowing with the pcv on there and bike not running. They take it off and it works fine. So I try that out and I'm getting the issues. Bike trying to turn over but won't run. Do any of you gurus have any idea of what it could be? To clarify when I did the install of fairing and sound system I have power running straight to the amp from the battery. The remote wire from the head unit to the amp and the power and ground wires from the head unit to the accessory wires that are located behind the head light. If you guys see something wrong with this. Like maybe a new switch or something should be installed I would appreciate advice. Thanks everyone

ended ip just being a user error. When I took the tank off to run wires. I connected everything back up. But the quick detach for the tank wasn't fully seated. I thought it was and it looked like it was but it wasn't. I felt like an idiot when I found it after going through and looking at everything I did again. But it's all good. I'm back on the road
