Borrowing a charging unit from a buddy, will try again in the morning and see if she starts up, I'm hoping that's all there is, I really don't want to have to break her down again and hunt down the problem. Will be posting pictures here soon of the journey she has gone through so far.

well here is the tank progression. Started off trying to pull the dents out, that didn't work. Next I started dinging them out from the inside. Needless to say that nothing got the dents out perfectly because as you can see they were pretty extensive. Once I got them out as much as possible, I used a sealer that is oil and fuel resistant to fill  holes that formed from the warping of the metal, and then I used filler to fill in the spots that didn't come out all the way, after priming and sanding and priming and sanding I finally got the tank painted and for a at home job with a  rattle can I think it turned out pretty well.

Along with the battery you might check to make sure you didn't reverse the fuel lines.

The tank should be marked. The feed (mandata) goes to the injectors. The return comes from the pressure regulator.

Also, you can hear the pump cycle when you turn on the key...right?

I switched the lines just to double check and the bike didn't like it, didn't even try to start, switched then back and it started to go but wouldn't turn over. My next thing is going to be taking out the spark plugs and seeing if they were fouled out, don't know when the last time the previous owner had them changed.

I'm at my wits end. I've checked the fuel lines, changed the spark plugs, charged the battery and still it won't start! What do I do now?

Video would be very helpful for us on the far end of the series of tubes.

The next thing in my book is the fuel filter and the lines inside the tank.

Took the lines out, cleaned out the tank, and checked the filter, there was some debris in there, so maybe that was the issue. Also double checked that the fuel pump was working and it is. Here are some pictures of the fuel lines reconnected, does this look right?

Still wouldn't start this morning, so I put some starting fluid straight into the cylinders and it started up, so It's definitely a fuel issue. Any suggestions on what to check?

Did you replace the filter, or just inspect?  "Some debris" indicates it is clogged to me. NAPA part number 3032 should do the trick.

Before you do that...

remove the fuel line with the white plastic band in your photo. If more than a small amount of fuel runs out, you have them backwards.

Not at all, I did switch them before and it didn't even try to turn over at that point, so I assumed the way I had them was correct, could have been a combination of a cliff on the filter and a backwards fuel line, but it is running now and I appreciate your wise words :)
