Default Cranks over, has spark, but won't start

Hi folks,

I have an 08 Streetglide that it seems is not getting any gas. The bike turns over great, and has plenty of spark. I have not started the bike in probably 6 or 8 weeks, but when I parked the bike it was working great. I've charged the battery, checked and tested all fuses, There is plenty of spark and their are no DTC codes displayed.
I installed new plugs and checked them after cranking the bike over and they were as dry as when I put them in. So no fuel.
I'm a totally newbie to working on fuel injection. Are there some simple tests that I can perform to see if the fuel pump is working?

You should hear your fuel pump kick in at key on for a few seconds. If not, check all fuses. Also, early 2008 had an issue with the fuel filter breaking and losing all fuel pressure inside the tank.

Check the fuel line connector at the base of the tank.. You can unplug it and plug it back in easily.. It's like a quick connect air fitting.. If you have power to the coils, you should have power to the fuel pump.. Listen for it. No fuel won't show up as an error. YOu can squirt gas in the intake.. Should sputter and die..

If you set anything on fire from playing with the gas, it ain't my fault.
