The clubman bars you replaced the old one's with, are they coated/black by any chance?
Have seen this happen a few times before when bars are swapped out and the starter button requires a good earth, the coating/paint prevents this and you get no start.
You could easily test this by using a battery jumper cable and providing a really good earth to that part of the bars.
Apart from that you seem to have done all the right things...try swearing at it, both my 650's went better the more I cussed them.
