Motorcycle Repair: Bike wont start / no spark, 1982 honda sabre, switch fuses

Question
I have a 1982 honda sabre V45 750cc that won't start. My brother-in-law and I have checked electrical components like spark units,ignition coils,pulse generators,kill switch,ignition switch,fuses and they all checked out okay! my problem is that I don't get any sparks from any of the spark plugs.I noticed also that ever since I bought the bike, it would take a while to fire up, this went on until last may in 2004 until the bike won't start at all or generate a spark any of the spark plugs.
What's causing my lack of spark in the spark plugs?

If all your components "check out okay" out of the system, you will need to start at the battery and test with test light or VOM for power through the circuitry. Be sure you use a fresh set of spark plugs to test for spark and that  BOTH plugs for each coil are grounded to the engine.
