Default Problems starting 2002 fatboy

Did a bar swap on a 2002 fatboy and now the bike will not start. The bike will turn over and crank but does not have spark. I replaced the cpk, checked all fuses and rechecked for spark and I have nothing. I pulled the plug going to the coil and from what I read when the ignition is on and I am not getting 12v there either. Anyone else have any ideas? I am stumped. BTW, this is a 2002 fatboy carbed bike.

Will the bike turnover if the killswitch is messed up?

Also, maybe you guys would know, there was a black tab that came out of the clam shell when I took the hand controls off. Where does that go?

I overlooked the part where it cranked over. No it will not crank
