Cool Finally got it! ...now I need help...

Hey y'all,
Just registered her on HD Forums, and looking forward to some good advice and possible customizing ideas. My name is Keith and in late December of this year I did a little horse swapping and scored a sweet custom scooter with HD guts. The frame, tanks, and fender skins are all custom, and the engine and electronics are from a 95' FXSTC. I was told by the previous owner that there have been a few mods to the motor like dyna ignition and cylinders bored for an additional 100cc's. she has been a lot of fun to ride, but as is with most of my toys...Murphy is kicking my ***. Which is where the request for help comes in...I am have an issue with the lack of spark and have a bike that is on its way to being torn apart looking for the culprit. Where would one look to find or ask questions here in the forum to research possible solutions?

I am new to wrenching on motorcycles, but I am enjoying the process. Now if I just had another bike to ride whilst my girl is down and out....

At least the weather in Savannah is crappy this weekend...I will try to post a pic of the toy later.

Safe ridn'
Keith
