Took apart the throttle side controls and sure enough...one of the wires got crushed when I was readjusting everything. It was stripped and grounding out on the bars. Wrapped the bare area with electrical tape and everything is fine now but you said you checked all of your fuses already so probably not the same issue.
I may may be worth checking again! Not to get off topic but, how do you like the short shots? Did you remap fuel?

Ya man...check that ignition fuse, that was the culprit with mine. Love the short shots. I'm running them without baffles so it's louder than hell but I'm cool with that. I have the FuelPak so I just got the remap codes off the V&H website. Bike runs great!

Just to make sure it is not the Key fob, type in your security code at startup. If it still does not work, then you know it is not the security system.
