Is the hot wire from the + side of the battery connected to the breaker panel? . A common mistake is to connect the cables and forget the power supply.
Is it possible the sound you are hearing is a breaker opening rather than a fuel pump? Go to the breakers and listen when you key on, do you hear a click at the breakers? wait ,, do you hear another click as it tries to reset?
If so you've got a short.
Check the wire that goes from the regulator to the breakers, if the insulation is damaged and that grounded that might be it.

If this problem started since you installed the battery, and it's the only electrical work done, your problem will be in that area. Check if you had more than 1 wire hooked to the battery posts or if any crimp connections are loose.
Good Luck

check the solenoid. If you are hearing no sound at all when you hit the button then the solenoid is not pulling in. I suspect a bad connection there or possibly at the battery. Aloose batt. connection can supply enough power for lights but not the starter

1.Check the fuses under the seat.
2.Check for a wiring ground-out.
3.Check the starter, bendix spring may be bad.
4.Check the kill switch on the right-side handelbar.
5.Check the ignition switch, may be half bad.

It's a Harley, what did you expect? It's not supposed to run well, just make you look cool when your standing next to it.
