If the main fuse is good, and you've got voltage at the starter relay input terminals, then you've got to look at the out voltage output of the starter relay and the headlight relay. If the starter relay is toast, then you won't get any power to the reg/rec, headlight relay, anything. Also look for splices in that line. If you see any don't mess around; just redo them.

I believe Paul said he replaced the starter relay, so the next likely candidates are the starter button, corroded starter motor connections, or, as you said, a wiring fault in the harness.

Recheck the wiring harness for dodgy connections, (pull every single connector apart and clean them) then look for any spots that appear as if they could have been pinched by the seat, tank, triple trees, or over tightened zip-ties (common problem areas).

Side stand switches come in two basic varieties. Some will prevent the bike from starting, some will kill the motor as soon as you put it in gear. Either way, disconnect that stupid shit. Usually, all you have to do is bridge the two switch wires together.
