Yamaha Virago question

Like a complete idiot I was trying to jump my 82 virago with my car and by accident connected the cables opposite on my bike's battery and it sparked so I pulled it off. Now my bike is has zero power and nothing works. Did I fry the battery or do something worse. It seems like all the fuses are ok but I didn't check the master fuse since it was getting too dark out. Any help would be great

I would say from past expierence that you shot the main fuse. If it did just replace fuse, should'nt have damaged anything else.

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked the main fuse and indeed it is blown, so going to replace that and hope it does the trick. I have never felt so stupid before!
