Bike will not start

I have a 2007 FLHTCUI that will not start, I don't think it is getting any fuel. I installed a p r o - r h y p e r c h a r g e r air filter made by Kuryakyn and have thunderMax with auto tune installed. I noticed the vacuum have cracks in them and was wondering if a lost of vacuum of any amount could make the bike lose it prime for the EFI. if that is possible. This happened when the tank was 3/4 full and it did not just quit I drove it 5 miles and parked for 1 hour and it would not start back up.

Thanks for any help that is given

Can you hear the fuel pump whirring when you turn the kill switch and ignition on?

Go back over your install. Might have pulled something loose.

Make sure your injector connections are good and TPS sensor connection is good. Maybe unplug and look at the connection for the Tmax. I wouldnt think it would be a vacuum leak if it wont even start if it was running just fine prior to not starting.
