Default Help, currently stranded on road

My buddy rides a 2003 night train... We were rolling up the highway and he hit a huge pothole , bike stalled and now it won't start. Plug wires are good , and it will turn over , but it won't start. Any suggestions ???

Thanks ,
TD

Default Problem

Long shot it's the crank position sensor it's up front and the bike will not start if it's damaged you can check for a code there is a sequence you do with the switches on your handle bars go on the net and type in how to check for a harley code if the sensor is bad the code will show up here is a link on how to check

Thanks folks.....
Never got it up and running.....My buddy ordered a new ignition and he's back in the game!!!!! Don't ask me how or maybe it was coincidental, but that was the issue...

Thanks again for all the ideas
