no power to my 1983 550 nighthawk

So I rode the bike a few days ago, no problems and this morning I went to start it and nothing, no lights or anything. I checked the main fuse, no problems but i changed it anyhow, still no power whatsoever. I even plugged in the trickle charger to the connectors that are already hooked up to the battery, still nothing. I checked a ton of connections and they were all tight... I took the battery out to check those connections, all good. I have no clue what else to look for. Could my ignition have gone bad? How would I check that if so? Thanks.
