Default softail problem, 07 Heritage

Posted this yesterday and was asked for more info so here it is...
Just put a new, fully charged battery in my 07 Heritage. All the accesor
ies work but it wont start, just clicks. Any suggestions? the bike ran fine, rode all weekend. noticed the battery seemed to be losing power. turned out it needed replacement. the problem started when I replaced it with an new one,not a sign of it turning over. The battery has been fully charged, connections clean etc. Currently I'm stuck out of town and the local dealer can't take a look at it til Monday. I really need to get this running. It will cost me $100 just to get it 3 miles to the dealer. looking for a fix. this is costing me a fortune...$ earmarked for some upgrades. Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated. RIDE SAFE !

It sounds like the problem was there before you changed the battery. Have you also checked the ground connection to the frame?
