Default Bike wont start

So I replaced my handlebars on my 08 deluxe and reassembled everything and the bike started just fine. Then the next day nothing. Everything electrical seems to be doing its job but the engine does nothing. The tank was sort of putting tension on the quick disconnect fuel line at the bottom of the tank because I didnt detatch it when I removed the tank i had it supported but it was sort of hanging by the line any ideas of what's going on?

Does it turn over on the starter or not even that?

Coughs and sputters but does not catch, you may want to check if it is in gear with the stand down.... there is a fail safe when the stand is down... (ask me how I know)
