Default 98 fatboy will not start..help

I have a 98 fatboy and had to put a new ignition module in it. It ran fine for about 2 weeks and this morning will not start. Turns over but will not start. I held a screw driver near spark plugs and coil wires and there is no spark. It has new coil, se wires and new plugs. Also has new cam sensor...all were put in about two weeks ago. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
OH, I took the dash off the day before but don't know if that has anything to do with it.
