The battery is still good 12.3VDC all grounds in place but I can't get any power. I don't even know where to start.

By No Power No lights, no horn? EVERYTHING got tr@nsferred to a different frame? That's a little bit low for starting .

Check fuses.
Check connections under the tank.

And, check the grounds by using a peg bolt or motor mount bolt as ground and battery+. A test light will do it. Or volt, ohm meter.
You might need to do a continuity/ ohms test across each wire in each connection.

I guess First thing is be sure the key switch is On, not park, and the power is being switched to the right spot on it.

Bot ,I have always owned SR500s, love those bikes , they fit me like they were made for me, however due to bad knees,hip not so good either,kicking not as fun as it used to be. So I bought another SR frame ,cause I don't want to chop up the one I have. Plan is to chop down tube from below steering head & engine cradle from a savage frame then weld it into the SR frame. Mock up for this will be intense needing clearance to get savage engine into frame keeping engine low enough to use stock tank & clearance for header too, should have ample room for carb. Engine will be a s40 695cc like my RYCA ,maybe with bigger cam than the RYCA cause this bike will weigh in at a porky 400+ lbs.
It will look like a SR have a 695 cc thumper with a happy button
A YAMAZUKI 695 , the best of both bikes
Finish RYCA this winter, have another quick build to do, then I will get started, at least a two year build 2019 or 2020. Just collecting frames for now & will find a low mileage s40 for a donor bike.
My next engine will be very special !!

I have continuity to the peg bolts from the engine ground strap. Power is disappearing after the ignition switch (on/park positions) but the switch is good (checked all positions with multi meter). Fuses are good, I'm thinking battery; barely 12 vdc and all cells were low. I filled it with DI H2O and have had it charging for a couple of hours.
