Default Bike cranks no spark

Hey guys just joined go easy on me. I have a 2002 Dyna super glide, bought it 2 weeks ago. test rode it on 2 separate days before buying because i wasnt sure of it. Everything was fine when i rode it home then the next day it randomly died at a Stoplight.

i pulled over to the sidewalk and tried starting it back up after 5 minutes and it started up perfect. the next day it wouldnt start again so i bump started it and everything was fine. day 3 it started up but after about a good 6-9 seconds of cranking. Day 4 wont start at all and i am getting No spark but bike cranks fine.

I have changed the battery , spark plugs, ignition coil, and crank position sensor. I bought new spark plug wires just waiting on them to arrive in the mail. i have a bad feeling that that wont fix the issue. I dont really know much about bikes but i am decent at fixing stuff from watching youtube and taking strangers advice on the internet. any suggestions would help thank you.

Bike has about 31k miles on it.
Also has a 95 inch big bore kit
Checked all the fuses as well they are good

First thing I would do is check the battery connections and load test the battery. Yes, load test that new battery and ensure the new spark plugs are gapped correctly.

How do the spark plugs look?

Ride safe!

I'd check the petcock and make sure adequate gas is flow to the carb. (Yeah I see the "no spark)

I'd also check to make sure the check engine light come on for 4 seconds then goes out when you turn on the ignition or flip the run/stop switch.

What does it mean if it does or doesn't do that?

bought new plug gapped them myself, but I did it incorrectly by sliding it on the gapped coin, idk if that would matter or not the gap is correct but idk if you can damage the spark plug like that

Either the ICM is dead or it's not getting any power.

The first thing you do is make sure it's getting power. It gets it through the run stop switch.
