Default bike will not start and I am about to give up

I have a 2004 cbr600rr with 4800 miles onit. I have replaced alot of things and it started just fine UNTIL i put on the fairings. I tried to start it and nothing. There is power going to the speedo but there is no sound comming from the fuel pump and when I hit the start button nothing happens. I have checked all connections and they are connected, realys, fuses and the battery and everything is fine. I am at a loss of what is wrong and I am about to give up all together.
Any help would be great.

It sounds like you unplugged your bank angle sensor. It is located between your headlight and your fairing stay. The unfortunate thing is you will have to remove your upper fairing, remove your headlight from your upper faring and make sure its plugged in all the way.

the bank angle sensor will not allow the fuel pump to activate, but will allow everything else to work. Thats the first thing I would check.

also if the guages are not plugged in things wont work either
