Electrical
Recently I have replaced my bars.
everything went smooth, brand new battery an no issues.
today I went to ride and BAM! Nothing. No power what so ever. I tested the battery and it’s good. Checked fuses and they’re good.
any help would be appreciated.

Yep, sounds electrical. Too many assumptions and we need more details. Year, make and model, type of bars and wiring, type of extensions, and soldering. Help the forum help you. Good luck!

Could be a fluke, charge the battery before freaking out, if the battery is dead. If it's a loose connection from disconnecting the battery for the work you did, do a better job tightening it this time.

‘Nothing’ is a very vague term here....
Nothing happens when the ignition is turned on?
Ignition cycle completes and nothing happens when you hit the start button?
It could be the security fob battery has died.
More detailed info will be helpful for us to help you figure this out!

Guessing there was a frayed/loose wire somewhere during your bar swap & that's all it takes. With the little information provided, recommend you re-trace steps & tear everything apart...checking all wires & connectors.

Is your run switch on? I’ve made that mistake before and freaked out before I saw the problem.

You can change the bars but can't even check the big fuse? Security-yes, no? Fairing bike or ignition switch on the tank? It is tough when the guy with the problem keeps EVERYTHING SECRET.
