2002 Sportster will not start
I was out riding my sportster cruising about 30 mph and all of a sudden the bike bogged out and completely turned off. Got to the side of the road and it wouldn't start back up. Everything has power, it tries to start, but won't turn over.
I've checked the battery wires at the terminals. I just changed the plugs and still no start.
What else should I be checking?

Are you getting a click, and where is it?
Can you hear the starter trying to engage?

12 volts is a dead battery, at least it's dead enough that it won't start the bike. A fully charged battery should measure 12.7 - 12.8 volts.
Charge the battery, then check the voltage across the battery with the bike running at a "fast" idle. You should measure 13.5 - 14.8 VDC if the stator and regulator are functioning properly.
Also, how old is the battery?

With a fully charged battery it still tries starting but the engine won't turn over. I'm starting to think it may not be getting spark, but not sure how to check for that.
