Swapped out my handlebars for the Rizomas.  After the entire process and once everything was re-assembled, I started up the bike.  The high beams (blue light) was on...then flickered, then went off.  The entire pod is now non-functional (blinkers, horn, high beams).  I've checked all 6 fuses with a tester (specifically #2 which is responsible for the pod) and they're all intact and receiving power.  I disassembled the box and everything looks intact there (no loose wires, etc).  For what it's worth, i have low/hi-beam HIDs that i've installed.  The low beam is working without a hitch as is everything else on the bike.  Ideas?  Any help/input is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Box? Which box do you mean?

The HIDs have been installed and working fine prior to your recent handlebar swap?

Sounds to me like you pinched a wire somewhere.  Time to retrace your steps.....

yeah i would double check your main connector between the switchset and your wiring harness as well.

the low beam would probably work since it's a hardwire/always on light.

Sorry - by box i meant the housing (held together by two Phillips screws).  I disassembled and reassembled again this weekend and the same problems persisted... so i'm not sure it is a pinched wire, but i won't dismiss it as I didn't try the signals once the assembly was apart.  Can you please elaborate on multi-pin connector?  Everything within the assembly looked intact and seated appropriately when I looked inside.  

Raux-
Where would i find the main connector?  I don't recall 'connecting' or slotting anything together when swapping the bars out (other than the throttle cables on either side... choke/throttle).  I don't know how I would've disconnected something else as i didn't really tug or extend anything on the left side of the bars upon fitment.

ungeheuer-
Everything was peachy prior to the install and both high and low beams were working fine.

Thanks guys.  Keep it coming.  I shall disassemble once again this Saturday and any input would be greatly appreciated before i take half the bike apart unnecessarily.

Tach works fine.  I'll follow the wire from the switch housing this weekend.  Do i need to remove the fuel tank in order to access the switchset/wiring harness connection?  Thanks Raux

no, i think the connector is near the front of the frame. you'll see it.

My vote with Raux - had VERY similar problem after installation of handlebar riser kit.  It was the connector.
