Do you get anything from hitting the start button? Turns over? Starter engaging? Any noise whatsoever?

You state here that it started BEFORE you put it back together so I will assume it didn't start AFTER you put it back together.

It would seem more logical that the problem exists at the handlebar level where you were working rather than the voltage regulator.

Have you checked the wiring to the "Run" and "Start" switches in the housing? It can be easy to pinch a wire and not realize it. You can test for current to the switches with a multimeter.
