No spark - help

[BowtieFever]

93 VMax - I was getting low voltage while running, specifically as rpm’s went up. Replaced regulator, but when I was reconnecting the battery my ratchet extension accidentally touched the frame and I experienced sparking/arching. I was pretty pissed at myself and the battery seemed to be fried. Got a new battery and now the bike turns over well but I lost spark. Fuses are fine. Where should I start? Thanks for the help!

Ok sounds like a dumb question, but how do you know that you lost spark? Did you check the spark to see if you could get anything from the boot to the spark plug itself? Some people have said they have lost spark.....without checking.

I took spark plug out and put back into boot and held it against frame and turned it over. No spark. Spark plug was initially set with fuel.

I can try a screw driver in the boot. But I am assuming something maybe burned up with the battery problem.
