Default No Spark to Plugs???

Ive just picked up a nice 2001 Softail Custom 10K Miles. It hasn't run in 5 years or more. Im trying to get it to fire off. Pulled the plugs and no spark at the plug when lying against the jug. I tried it with another plug with the original back in. No luck. I installed a new ignition module.. yep still no luck. Forums are leading me to the BAS and the CPS. I don't want to be a parts changer and start throwing money at this thing. as you know no electrical part is returnable...I installed a new battery also. There is no security system but when I turn the key the lights flash fast like my 14 ultra. The old owner says there is no fob. How can I check the Bank Angle sensor and the crank position sensor? Or it is something slapping me in the face I don't see yet. I have a multi meter and troubleshooting ability. Thank you .

On my 04 night train I did not have the security system. Never had lights flash with ign switch on or off like on my 09 road glide with security system. Just my experience. Only time it didn't start was fuel related.
