Default Bike its dead.

I removed the engine and transmission from the frame to paint. Installing again in the frame, I connected all the parts, starter motor, handlebars, battery. When I turned the ignition key, nothing, no sign, the motorcycle seems to have no electricity in the system, apparently the ground cables are correct, fuses too, but there is no voltage in the max fuse. If anyone has a suggestion I appreciate it, I have no idea where to look.

What year/model? Check battery connections, you may have missed the main harness connection and just got the starter solenoid.

There should be 2 power wires either on the battery or on the power for the solenoid depending on what model. Main harness main power comes from the second power wire.

I replied to your other thread in the Dyna forum. Check the ground where you just painted; it's probably not getting a good ground.
