You guys are gonna love this...

I started looking for shorts when I noticed that the positive and negative terminals on the new battery were on opposite sides of the old one.  It was a little awkward but I was able to get the cables in their proper positions.  The bike still had trouble starting.  I was able to get it to start with some starting fluid.  Still having idle troubles too.  I'll see if I can get that fixed.  If not I'll be sure to post again.  Thanks for your help, sorry for my blonde moment!
