Default Relocated Speedo...headlight not working

Relocated the speedo using the autometer mount and now with everything back together the headlight isnt working on either high or low beam. I took the headlight apart and the connector is tight, the bulb is not burned out.

Any ideas? Wondering if moving things screwed up the ground possibly. All other lights etc work just fine.

Thanks for the help!

Check the ground was my first idea. Does it have a ground inside the headlight bucket?

There is no ground in the head light bucket. But you may have unplugged it from the main harness. It is located under the fuel tank.

Thanks for the info, it was the connector under the tank. I ziptied the wires in a position that when the fork was turned it pulled on the wire.
