So, I was installing an underbody/clear taillight/ new fender elim/license plate holder all at the same time. Worked hard on getting everything just right, then on my way to rewiring the red wire for the tail light literally poked inside the open-wire end of my fuse box... while the bike was CARELESSLY LEFT ON!
needless to say- the lights are all out. When I turn the key, nothing will come on, and obviously I cannot start it. But, when I touch the same wire to the live metal under the red rubber nub, the tail light and dash lights will come on. I just want to know what I am going to need to fix here.. fuse box? battery? what extent of damage did my prehistoric wiring/circuitry skills get me? I am kind of sweating it because I know that labor can cost me a leg and a half. Let me know guys 
Thanks. I am going to call the shop tomorrow to come fetch it.. needed a good retorquing and fluid change anyway..
and let this be a lesson to all- reset the fuse box into its spot while wiring.. crazy things happen..
