I have been having nothing but trouble trying to figure out what is wrong with my 98' SH. It all started one night after work, I was riding home, everything seemed normal. I was going 55-60 and it was like someone turned the key off, everything went dark, no power at all. so after pushing it home 3.5 miles at 11pm, I was extreamly frusterated with my bike. I looked at it some, just happened to check the main fuse, it was burnt out, so I replaced it and it started right up. had to be some reason the fuse blew though? so i rode it hte next day into town, no issues, the next morning after went to start it and the battery was almost dead, i charged it ran fine, took into local bike shop , he said it was the stator because he put a volt meter on it and didn't charge as it should be. I replaced the stator last week and now when i turn the key i get nothing, i assumed i blew another fuse maybe while changing the stator, no such luck. I was woundering if it could be the starter relay switch or what???? i tried to bipass the switch and /or the fuse and i hear the starter click but still no power. also somthing is drawing on the battery although the key is off. please help!!! it has been torn apart for over three weeks!!! thanks for all your help

Your regulator\rectifier is shot. Also I would bet money that the stator was fine so you might want to find a different shop to go to.

+1, and look into R/R alternatives... OEM ones aren't the best out there...
