Default Bike Will Not Start....

So I put on the competition werkes fender eliminator yesterday. I had to take the battery out to mount the plate under the seat. Then I put the battery back in and now the bike wont start. Is there like a secret switch or button that i need to push. Makes no sense. I thought i killed my battery but its fully charged. thats all i did besides putting the new rear blinker and licnese plate light in. Any Suggestions? Its Killing me?

He already has done if he pressed the starter button. But on most bikes thats normally the cause.

Good one...but thats impossible since the kill switch and the ignition are connected. Unless there are 2. Anything else?

And there is no power at all. no lights no system check or anything as if the battery is dead but i cheked it and threw it on the charger just to be safe

Check your fuses. If you poped then main fuse when you were putting the battery back on, No-Joy!
