Default 200I need help

Changed handlebars on my 2003 sporty and now the starter switch is dead. Everything else works ok. I did not disconnect any of the wiring. Wonder if I might have blown a fuse somewhere. Is there an inline fuse somewhere in the starter circuit. HELP!

Check the fuse. My bet - you pinched a wire between bars and switch housing or between the two halves of the housing. If fuse is blown, open the housing and repair the damaged wire. Don't ask how I know this is the likely problem.

what he said. most likely a pinched wire. wheneverwe have problems after doing something on our bikes, we need to retrace what it was we did. That usually works for me.
