Hey there, I really hope someone can offer me a bit of sagely wisdom.  My cb750 is my first bike and I'm still learning the ins and outs of maintenance and repair on it.  Anyway, I just installed a dyna S electronic ignition system, got it timed etc etc, running great.  I took it out for a ride after i got it timed, everything was fine.  I rode it home, had supper and went out for another ride (45 mins or so)  Just for the sheer joy of it.  After returning from that I went to start the bike for my brother, so he could hear it.  I stuck the key in, clicked it over one notch and....nothing, not one bit of power to the lights, gauges, lamps, or ignition button.  My bike has its horn hooked up with independent leads to the battery, and it still beeps, so i know the battery is not dead, but does anyone have any idea where I should start looking for the problem?  I think its so strange that while sitting safely in the back yard for 60 minuets, that something like this should go wrong out of the blue.  Should I start looking at the ignition end, fuses, somewhere else in the wire harness?  I could really use some help.
