Default Trouble getting fire/spark on 05 dyna superglide fxdi

Not getting fire. Have replaced the stator, rotor, crankshaft position sensor, voltage regulator, coil and plug wires and still no spark. Any ideas

Do you have compression in the rear cylinder and a sparkplug installed?

If the injectors are dumping fuel into the cylinders, fuel pump running but no spark, there should be codes.

snd a video of it cranking, because once the fuel pump is running and you can crank the bike, it should spark unless its cranking lazy
