Help please
I just installed on my 14' 48 the the dk custom tank lift, coil relocation with the f6 option. One the plug wire seemed a little bent at the buttom. When it was all said and done the bike would not turn over. The lights worked, I could here the injectors prepping but when I pushed the starter button it would not do a single thing. What could be wrong. At first I thought it was the plug wires, so I put the originals on. Same thing. I'm thinking the coil went bad or I'm I missing something in the steps somewhere. All help is appreciated.

Can be a number of things if you haven't been careful with wires. But always try and rule out the easy stuff first.
Make sure that all the connectors that you unplugged are plugged back properly.
Unless you haven't cut any wires and/or haven't pulled on them too hard and just unplugged the connectors it seems strange that your bike won't fire up!
Btw, might sound stupid but, if you've had the ignition on and you've moved the bike around to much it will kill the power (thats the immobilizer) so you can't start it.

That immobolizer might be it but how do I reset it. I know for sure the ignition was off, the switch was turned to off, and the fuse was pulled out. What else was I missing?

It's not the bank angle switch. One key off/on resets it. Nothing you mentioned above would keep it from cranking. Maybe not starting but not cranking. If the fuel pump primed, the on/off on the bars is on. What is F6 option? If you have a DC/OHM meter meter ($10 from Harbour Freight will do) what is the voltage reading on your battery. Should be about 12.8 DC , 12.3 is almost a dead battery for kicking in the solenoid to engage starter.

Go through the blindingly obvious stuff first, including being in neutral. If no joy, then very carefully work your way through all the stuff you disturbed. Don't get distracted by guessing what else may have gone wrong. The harsh reality is that a simple, possibly silly thing is not quite right, or has been disturbed, following the mods you have just done.
