Default Nightster will not start

I have a 2009 Nightster, just did a bit of re wiring. Everything seems to be working fine but when I try to start bike it doesnt. Sounds like it wants to turn on but just wont. I hear the fuel pump working and once the engine light is off I start it... cranks cranks cranks wants to turn on just wont. I charged the battery full and tried again, same thing. Any suggestions?

I removed all connectors, crimped all wires. I removed all buttons on hand controls and relocated run/start switch. everything else works, all electrical.
