HELP! Replaced clutch in 73 xs650 and none of the electrics work

[msaxer1998]

Hey guys, I just replaced the clutch on my 1973 Yamaha xs650 because of major slippage and The process went smoothly. I started it up fine and rode it and it was great, Then it died on me when I was coasting in neutral to a light, so I pulled over and the electric start wasn't working. I kick started it a few times and nothing. Then I waited a minute and the electric start was working again. I rode it home and found that I forgot to reconnect the cable that grounds the engine and the frame. So I reconnected it and none of the electrics work. I try to kick start it but I don't think the engine is getting any spark. I tried connecting that cable to different parts of the frame too. I charged my battery up and cleaned my connectors and grounds. still nothing, Also my lights don't work or any electronics. I was thinking maybe a fuse, but I don't know where that would be on my bike, Also I can't find anything online about it. I was so happy to finally install the new clutch and am so frustrated that I can't figure this out. I will include pictures on my bike for you guys.

Please, if you can tell me anything about this, or anything about the fuse system on my bike, that would be greatly appreciates because this is my first bike and I want to understand it as much as possible.

Fuse should be under the seat inline on the ignition wire attached to the positive side of the battery. should be the old style glass fuse holder unless there's been some modifications?

On a '73, I think the one main fuse is under the left side cover.

I have a lot of customer parts on here and I don't have the side covers, I'm not to sure where he put them.

None of your pics are showing up, at least for me anyway, so I can't tell what you've got going on.
