Default '02 Roadking only fires on front cylinder

Hi all, I have an '02 Roadking that will only run on the front cylinder. I have changed plugs, leads and coil with parts I know work as I swapped from a similar bike. There is no spark on the rear plug, any ideas. Thanks.

Have you actually checked for spark at the plug, or are you just going by the fact that the rear cylinder isn't working? In other words, did you pull the plug and ground it to the motor looking for spark? Or stick your finger in the wire and spin the motor over.... If not, do so. If you have spark, run a compression check.

I had a similar problem but it would fire on two after 20 or thirty seconds. I did all the things you did but it turned out to be a failed intake manifold to head gasket.
