Default Dropped bike and now it won't start

I dropped my 2012 dyna super glide on its right side. There was minimal damage but now it won't start. When I turn the ignition the lights come on and I hear the fuel injectors prime, but there is no power to the right and left hand controls or the speedometer. I've checked the battery and all the fuses with a meter and those are good. Any ideas?

Total shot in the dark,disconnect at the battery n reset the system. I'm a carb guy had an efi n ditched it so as to not have to bow at the alter of HD who loves to empty yur pockets w all their fancy electronic gizmo bullshit ya need a computer to fix.

Thanks for the replies. I tried cycling the switch but it still won't crank and has no power to the speedo. I also tried disconnecting the battery for awhile hoping it was some safety sensor, but that didn't help either.

I was thinking this may have had a bank angle sensor on it wich shuts the bike off of it tips as yours did.

If it were mine I'd open the handlebar control unit n look for a pinched wire. Assuming it fell to the cement on the right grip being the throttle side.

I agree, when the fell it prolly fell onto the throttle twist grip or yanked the wire loom at the front of the frame? Maybe that caused an already compromised connection to completely fail in the handlebars...especially assuming you have done handlebar work in the past?

Finally figured it out. It ended up being a pinched wire in the left hand control. Thanks for the advice everyone!
