Hi,
I know this might sound strange, but I have seen this happen. Did you hook the battery in reverse? If so, you may have blown the main fuse.
Also check to be sure the ground at both the battery and frame/engine connections are tight. A loose ground will cause a no power situation as well.
If you have a voltmeter, check to be sure the battery was charged to begin with. Depending on the manufacturer of the battery, some come fully charged, and some you have to add the water/acid mix and charge yourself. These types usually require about 8-24 hours of charge time, depending on the brand.
Out of curiosity, other than the obvious, what was the reason for the battery change?
