flashing engine, cruise and abs lights flashing
2009 Road Glide. I just finished adding +2 sweeper handlebars, heat demons grip heaters, elf amp and J&M 7.25 speakers. Everything works except abs, engine and cruise lights are flashing. Any Ideas about troubleshooting?

+1 on a pinched/wire shorting. I'd look at your connectors, make sure they're good. then disconnect each add on one at a time (like at the molex connectors) and see if the flashing items changes, or goes away.(need the color code for wiring) Then you could isolate the pinched wire at least. The bad thing is, you might have to pull your wiring back out of your bars anyway. Check the easy stuff first.

If cruise light is flashing then your TBW sounds like it's not working. Do you still have full throttle control....or only like 2% throttle response?
If reduced throttle response I bet you jacked up the TBW sensor connection halfway down the right side handlebar. Cut the connectors off and use butt connectors and you should be good.
Have you tried pulling the codes from the ECM?

I took it out for about a 1/2 hr ride after putting it back together. It ran strongly. It was a little low on response at 70 in 6th. Symbols flashed the whole time. The green connector was glued together and shrink wrapped.

Have you pulled the codes? I have the 09 electrical manual.

Sorry. I don't know exactly what that means. I assume error codes can be shown somehow, but I thought the dealer would have to do that. If not, How please

If it comes on again and then goes out again after a few seconds you have a historical code (detected a fault some time, but not now).
If either are the case you can pull the codes like this:
1- Turn Ignition switch to OFF & Run/Stop switch is to Run.
2- Push odometer reset button in & hold.
3- Turn ignition switch to Ignition and release odometer reset button. Background lighting should illuminate, speedometer needle should sweep its full range and indicator lamps (battery, security, low fuel
, check engine and cruise) should illuminate. The word "diag" should then appear.
4 - Push the odometer reset button once and you will see the selection menu "PSSptb" with the first P flashing.
5 - Each letter represents an area of the diagnostics module. The module that is flashing is the one you are going to check. To move from one letter (module) to the next, you push the odometer reset button one time. (from P to S to SP to t to b and back to P, etc.)
P = ECM/ICM (Electronic Control Module [EFI] / Ignition Control Module [Carbureted])
S = TSM/TSSM (Turn Signal/ Turn Signal Security Module)
Sp = speedometer
t = tachometer
b = ABS brakes (if equipped)
6 - To get the DTC within an area of diagnostics, push and hold the odometer reset button in for 5 seconds and release. If there are any DTC's the code will be displayed or the word "none" will appear if there are no DTC's. Push the odometer reset button again to view additional codes if they exist.
7 - Record the codes.
8 - If DTC's are not to be cleared, Press and release the odometer reset button. Part number of module will be displayed.
NOTE: To determine if a code is current or historic, clear the displayed code by pushing in and holding the odometer reset button ( longer than 5 seconds) until 'clear' comes up. Release the odometer reset button. Turn OFF the ignition switch. Run your bike and shut it down then recheck the DTC's again by repeating steps 1 to 9. If the code is current it will reappear.
9 - Press and release the odometer reset button to continue to the next module.
10 - Turn Ignition switch to OFF.
