1976 Honda CB500T

So I was going down the road, and completely lost power. I noticed my battery cables were a little loose. Tightened them....still no power. All my gauges are off, so I'm basing this off my headlight not working. It's a new battery, and fully charged. Would that cause a total lose of power from the battery??

....my second thought was that I may have severed my engine on/off or ignition switches where they come out of the controls on the handlebars. I just recently put new bars on, and had to drill holes in the new ones to give room for the wiring to pass through the controls. I had just stopped to tighten the controls, and I may have pinched the wiring. Although, nothing happened at that time. I was able to fire it up, and go down the road...but only for a mile.

Thoughts????? Help!!!!!!
