Fitz, do you have power anywhere on the bike other than just the battery?
Then the problem has to be between the fuse holder and the battery positive, or the battery negative connection to the bike.Fitz2at":5e5jeotv said:No, I have no power anywhere! Not on either side of fuse holder either. I tested the starter switch and it checks out ok per the manual.

You do NOT need the rectifier at this point. I had a very similar situation when I reinstalled my engine....no power and no lights. Everything looked good and tight. It turned out to be a bad ground connection from the battery to the frame. I vleaned up the frame contact point and the battery terminals and the ground wire and voila, I had power once again. Look, there is a 1 amp fuse that is in the left hand pocket area. It connects directly to the main fuse and is always live. Measure the voltage to that point and if it is zero volts, you either have a bad ground connection or a poor connection at the main fuse area.Fitz2at":2qab3f6w said:Won't know until I have a rectifier.
