Rebuilt my GZ. Now starter won't even click.

I recently bought a 2004 GZ for $800. It had sat in the weather for a year and I found it had been dumped. When the front brake pads fell off on the ride home, I decided to go through the whole bike.

The wiring harness was chopped up so I just tore it, the extra lights and wiring off and replaced that. I had to switch out the plug ins from the handle bar wiring, so I did this as I lengthen the wiring by 4" to fit the new handle bars. All tested out on the ohm meter. I also cleaned the carb, adjusted the valves,

The foot stand switch seems to test fine as does the new start/stop switches, . Fuses are all checked, battery is new, replaced the ignitor.
starter relay, coil, etc all seem to test ok, The ignitor didn't
Lights, horn, etc work.

I just have no spark and no juice to the starter. It is such a simple wiring system, I am just missing something.
