Default 2002 maurader electrical issue

Have an '02 maurader. Went to start it after it sat all winter. When turning the key I have no power at all. No lights no nothing. Have done the following:

Thought battery was dead so put on trickle charger - let it charge - no go
put in a new battery - no go

checked the fuses -all look good including the 30 amp "main" - put in a new one anyway - no go

have checked all cables and all looks good. I thought maybe somehow the kickstand switch was bad so checked that also. no go. Bike ran like a dream last year.

I am at a total loss - any ideas on where to go next would be appreciated
