Default 81 Suzuki GS 250T no start

I just got my new stator for my bike, and after I installed it, I have a major issue... The bike no longer starts.

The starting system worked just fine before I installed the stator, but now there's nothing but a click from the relay. During the battery reinstall, I did end up touching one of the battery lines to ground, and blew the fuse on the system, and I hope that didn't damage the starter.

When I push the button for the starter, the solenoid clicks, but nothing else happens. I was able to bump start the bike just fine (I had a nice little hill to coast down).

Where should I start for checking out the system?
