help! killed my 750s starting system

mattwrx
hey guys im new to the forums. I have a 79 cb750k and just finished rebuilding the carbs and had the bike ready to go. it was cranking before but not  starting. now wen i turn the key the oil pressure light and neutral light don't illuminate and no crank. D': they light up when i push the starter button but nothing. the batterys good  the wiring on the front of the bike is botched by previous owner and i think something shorted to the frame... the 30 amp fuse was replaced with a wire... what do i need to get this thing started? any input is greatly appreciated.

You need to replace the main fuse (I would recommend replacing it with a circuit breaker) and find/fix the short.

there was a wire in place of the main fuse. :/ im pretty sure one of the headlight wires touched the fork.
