Bike died going 75 mph and will not start. Has not fire

SOURCE: 04 sportster 883 will turn over and back fire but will not start

Sounds like it jumped time.. Check your timing ..

SOURCE: Battery drained while riding

chek your connection where the alternator plugs into your engine casing & spray it with electrical contact cleaner

SOURCE: while riding all lights started to flash engine run erratic bike died of death bike will not start

Start with charging and load testing the battery. Then test the stator, to test the stator on the bottom of the right down tube is the plug that goes from the stator to the voltage regulator. With a multi meter, read the voltage from the stator, I forget the exact values but as you rev the motor the voltage should climb if it dosn't your stator is bad. If the stator is good take a reading again with the motor running at the battery cables, again I forget the exact value but you should have a steady reading at the battery, if it isn't and fluctuates it is bad.

SOURCE: AFTER ABOUT 20 MILES OF RIDING MY BIKE BACKFIRES AND QUITS

could posibly be a problem with your stator

SOURCE: Backfire when I get off the throttle and down shifting

no your totally wrong the backfire is bcause if u juice the throttle there is excess fule in the cylinders witch give it no where to go so it ignights and creates a backfire witch is not necessarly bad.
