Problem solved. Took it to dealer. Broken wires on the electrical harness.

Apparently when I did the tank lift and wire tuck, I should have used better tape. It rubbed through and was arching on the frame.

They're going to solder them back together.

An easy fix, but expensive mistake. $170. Sometimes stupid hurts.
