Default bank angle sensor location

Im finishing up my 99 FXDG rebuild. The bike was in a million pieces when I got it. Its just about ready to start but got no spark. Im thinking its the bank angle sensor since its not mounted anywhere. I have no idea where its supposed to go and my manual doesn't show location.
Anyone have a pic of where its supposed to be? Or is there a way to bypass?

As I recall, the bank angle sensor was attached to a bracket with a self tapping screw mounted to the back side of the electrical panel using the top coil bracket nut...

Edit: Just checked Ronnie's; yep

On my 99 WG it's freakin' buried above and to the rear of the starter. Not the easiest thing to ge to. I believe I had to remove the entire electrical box and sub-panels to get to it. sorry, I didn't take any pics.

Disconnect sensor and short the wires together. Try and start.

Good question. I was going from memory that it was 2 wires. I'll have to look it up in my service manaul.

Light green/gray goes to the Ignition Module.
Gray is switched hot from ignition switch.
Black is ground.

I can't determine what the switch actually does with those wires.

It says to test by placing a magnet on top of the sensor to pull the metal disc inside up off its seat. Not real helpful if you can't start the bike to begin with.

If I had a sensor out to test, I would gladly do so for ya. sorry, that's the best I can do.

Being unwilling to burn up the ignition module with blind testing, I probably pull out the sensor and shake the hell out of it to make sure I could hear the disc rattling and then set it upright and tap the front to be sure the disc re-seats

I hear the disc moving around inside. I guess I can monitor voltage on the wire that goes to the ignition module while moving the sensor around and see what the voltage does.
