To start off with, check both ends of both battery cables, make sure they are clean and tight. If those are OK, get your volt meter and follow the smaller red wire from your starter solenoid (the one that connects with your battery cable) to the main Circuit breaker and check both terminals for power, if both have voltage, keep following wires to your ignition key switch and check there. It ends up being a process of elimination until you find a faulty part or a bad wire connection somewhere. Google the wiring diagram image for your bike, it will help you a lot.

Sorry to hear that, I had a '92 Sportster and it had electrical issues, after the second time at the dealer (and they assured me it was fixed) it left me high and dry on I95. Well got it to the dealer once more and traded it in on a '05 Sporty, haven't looked back since. But having talked to the salesman later after I traded it in, he said it was a wire under the seat that was grounding out, I know that isn't much info but thats all he knew. Anyway good luck...
