    So no idea what happened any help would be nice, I rode my bike this morning and everything worked like a dream got to work parked and I just went out to show my boss the build thus far, and now it won't start, I get my lights and everything on the gauge works but when I click the starter nothing not even a ticing like a weak battery. Any ideas, Its a long walk back home.

    It is in neutral, it is turned on, the kick stand is up, no idea what is going on. Please help

    well its a dead battery, we did a little bump and it didn't work practiaclly pushed it down a hill where if i didn't work it would be stuck, it started and ran fine. I used my heated grips this morning and I am pretty sure now that I think about it they are connected straight to the battery, I though that connection was for the HID's not the grips. Oh well

    Fit a relay for the heated grips, that way, ignition off, grips are off
