However, if I put it in neutral to bypass the clutch switch the entire cluster shuts off and there's a fast clicking as if the batter was dead on a tractor. Only other thing I noticed was that the when flipping the highbeam on the light comes on but the highbeam indicator does not. Leading me to believe that I muffed a connection somewhere that is causing the bike thing the headlight harness is not connected to the chasis harness. Will update with more information when i find out what's going on the bike.
Sounds like a pretty good diagnosis. The main headlight connection is under the left intake / intake cover, near where the side and top fairings join.

Glad to hear your ok. I had woodcraft sliders on my first bike and they saved my bike a few times. as much as i don't want to put them on my f4i i know how i like to ride and will probably end up doing so just to keep her safe. good luck w/ the repairs!
