Oh No, nooked up battery backwards

Just got the bike, hasn´t been started for some time. Kids got it for me for a belated Father´s Day gift. The guy they got it from said it ran the last time he tried. Anyway, the battery in it was shot, so I sent the kids in to buy another. In the meantime I hooked a car battery plus to red on the bike, neg to black on the bike. Oops. Red goes to the frane on this bike. So what did I blow? Please help, there is now a new batt in it (hooked up correctly) and no lights or ignition. THANKS
