Default 82 IRONHEAD electrical power loss

Yesterday I installed a poweraythor alternator on my 82 Iornhead. Installation was a breeze, and the directions were very clear. I'm a noob with Harleys, and this is my first...so please bear with me. Got the new poweraythor installed (replaces old genny and power regulator) and went for a ride. Everything was fine. Stopped at a few places, and each time would fire up no problems. This morning when I went to get on and ride, I had zero power. No lights, no starter click, nothing. What might be the problem here?

Before I installed the poweraythor (alternator) I used to have to plug my bike in each night and charge the battery because my genny was bad. I could usually ride a full day, sometimes two when doing this. I charged my battery fully before installing my poweraythor, and like I said this morning, I had no power. Did something drain my battery entirely? Or would a loose wire somewhere cause this? ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
