Default Ignition/Starting problem with Dyna

I have a Dyna Low Rider 2008. This morning I was planning to go for a ride but when I try to turn on my motorbike...there is not sign of life. No lights, no sounds...very weird. I went for a ride 2 weeks ago. I have checked fuses and battery.
Could it be the alarm system blocking everything? Not really sure how that works.
Any ideas or help?

Thanks I appreciate.

As far as I know the security system just shuts off the starter relay. As long as it isn't running it will be the same as the kill switch being turned off. You'll still have lights. I assume checking the battery included checking the connections at the terminals. You should also check the ground to the frame. Beyond that it's pretty well get the multimeter out and see where the power stops.
