bad positive cable and now solenoid

Hi Ya´ll, I had my positive cable go bad on my bike. It actually broke in half. At first I thought itwas a bad battery so I bought a new one and put it in and got nothing, lights, blinkers, nothing. Started checking around and found the bad + cable . I replaced it to the new battery and now I get lights and everything but the starter won´t kick over. I have tried tightening the cable a million times cleaned everythng with emery cloth till I could see my reflection. Still nothing. Lights but will not turn over at all.Any suggestions. I´m not sure what to do next...did I ruin the solenoid? or Starter? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
