Default Just died

Riding down the road doing 60 or so. After about 30 minutes bike just died. Almost like out of gas, switched to reserve while rolling but nothing. Pulled off and stopped. Tried to re-start and wont fire. Everything operational, turns over, have lights, getting gas... no start. Got it home, pulled the plugs to check...look fine. Check for spark and see nothing.
Replaced the coil, still no spark. Has a dyna s dual fire module but not sure it thats the problem. Checked all wiring... not much there to go bad. Checked in the throttle housing to see if something there came loose and grounded, checked under the dash for ignition switch wire problems too.
Ran a wire from the hot side of the battery directly to the plus side of coil and still no spark...no start.
Only thing i havnt checked is the 5 connector replay type set-up mounted near the battery... not sure how to test this..some of the wires read hot and some ground. bout all i know on that.

Any other suggestion I would really appreciate it?
Thanks

Rich,
Had the same thing happen to my 95 Road King with Dyna ignition..Turned out to be the ignition (Seems dyna had a bad batch)..
They replaced mine for the cost of shipping. Contact them and see..I would bet it is the ignition as the symptoms were identical to mine and I had no prior warning of the impending failure.
Regards,
Ray

Dyna ignition would be my guess.
