Not so. The computer runs the pump for a few seconds when you turn on the ignition & then shuts off. It does not mean there is pressure. Check inside the tank & listen for gurgling sounds, you might have a bad hose inside the tank (some what common problem on certain years). If it built up pressure it would spray fuel when you loosen up the line. As for a stupid question, I know a guy that is a mechanic that started to tear down his lawn mower because it quit, then his son walked up & asked if it was out of gas (it was).

A few thoughts for you. Check your fuel pump electrical connection, check your fuel line at both ends, Check your tank vent tube, make sure it's not kinked, check your cross over hose.

Switched wires at injectors, nothing. No diagnostic codes. I really believe I am not getting fuel through that quick disconnect at the tank. Its made up correctly, but I can tell if fuel is getting through it. And yes, there is plenty of fuel in the tank. Not sure where to go from here. And I can hear the pump running so its not a connection to the pump.

If you have been cranking the bike and it will not fire up, is the odor of fuel present?
No codes right, I would pop off that quick disconnect and reattach it again and make sure it clicks in tight.
I had a similar issue of not starting after installing my cams but I had plenty of fuel. The crank sensor connector had water in it.
