Answer
Dick, I can't say that I have any wrench time on a GL-based Valkyrie, but no spark conditions are somewhat universal in nature.

Sounds like you have juice in the battery. Check ignition switch base to be sure that it isn't falling apart, which happened on older models.
Check KILL switch function.
If you have no spark from either coil, then it must be something that is common to the coil set. Could be the spark unit failing or perhaps the pulse generator... or the KILL Switch.
