    I tried to install the battery from my maxim into my shadow so I could ride while I do the carbs on the maxim.

    I connected the positive terminal, then went to connect the negative and it gave a little crackle... Uninstalled the battery and put the other one back in (it has enough juice for the lights, just not enough to start the bike).

    Now there are no signs of life when I turn the key...

    Did I fry the R/R? Something else?

    main fuse. You may have shorted the battery somewhere while moving it around.
