Default ignition problums

i have a 1986 xl sportster. I turned the key to start, the starter clicked once
and the bike went dead. no power at the breakers, coil, dash lights. when I turn the key OFF I then have power at the ignition red wire and to the breakers and the red ignition wire but not with the key on.

now I do not even get any power or starter click, jut dead all over ?

Can anyone help ?

is it only the ignition switch of someplace else ?

Sounds like a bad ignition switch.
