I replaced the stock mini ape handlebars on my crossbones with narrow beach bars. There are no cable changes that need to be made. Now the bike will not start while in gear, only neutral. Any ideas what I did or what the problem could be.

Maybe it never worked correctly but now it does. I don't know which but, there are models that don't start when in gear.
If you unplugged the wires from under the tank, be sure to check there too. I did the same thing when I "tried" Street Slammer bars on my Fatboy. Had to get back under there and reseat the connector. Slammers were not a great idea, but we won't go there.
Ok, Thanks for all the help. That is what the problem was. Switch was still good. But I found a break or opening in the flexible conduit that contains the wiring and I think that particular wire was ground to the handlebars. So I basically taped the conduit, reinstalled the handgrip and housing, this time being a little more careful with tucking it in where it is supposed to go. I'm just glad that I didn't have to go back to the dealer with my tail between my legs.
