Check your ground cable. May have fried it dumping your entire battery through it.

The positive terminal grounding will not blow any of your fuses.
The current will flow through the negative (ground) side, so as said above check both sides of the negative. If the engine was running, you could have fried your regulator also.
Did it take the battery out?

Battery
Yes it took the battery out was brand new too ! I just bought the bike and previous owner had just installed it . He gave me the reciept so I took it back and they gave me a new one . Also it seems like the battery is to tall I double checked the size and it's right called the Harley shop to verify it .
