Default no power at all!! help!

just replaced the starter, the bike was fine befor i replaced it, got everything installed and tightened up, now NO POWER! no gauges, lights, anything, checked the grounds, fuses, connections, everything looks fine. only thing was when i was commecting the battery, i connected the ground first and i touched the red to the battery and it sparked, i thought it would have blown a fuse but i saw nothing blown.

Sounds like you have the polarity reversed, or you missed a blown fuse. And you always do the positive first, then the ground.

Maybe you put the positive cable on the negative battery terminal and the negative cable on the positive terminal

What year is your bike? If it has a curcuit braker you could've fried it, or if it's newer you could've blown the maxi fuse. The maxi fuse isn't in the fuse block, it's a larger 50 AMP fuse.
