Well, bike model and year may help with solicitation of assistance. Throw in a bit of background such as why you changed the stator and rotor - burned up? Upgrade?

No the stator was not burned up neither was the regulator, everything tested good the coil isn’t isn’t firing, tested the coil and it is good , how often does the kill switch on the handle bars go bad

Id tell you view the wiring schematics at HD service portal and work your way backwards but your Ultima harness may or may not share the color codes.

None of the above, possibly kill switch is grounding out

Doesn`t the kill switch stop the engine from even CRANKING ?
Doesn`t just kill the spark

The stator and V-R keep the battery supplied with voltage don`t see that interfering with supply to coil
Try to locate the coil feed wire leaving the IGNITION MODULE ?
