One of the first things I did was pull the plugs, no coolant was in there. I have spark on both. I thought it was my coiling but nope it's not.

About half a cup of coolant was in my oil when i drained it.

No wiring was loosened or even taken off, I simply decided to swap old parts with new ones and do a regular oil change and oil filter change.

Tried using the choke, nothing happened. Shut the choke off and still nothing. the motor turns but won't turn on.
Is it possible you may have some bad gas or not enough gas in the bowls? Your head may be warped from the wreck. Some torquing of the frame could have taken place, especially since you had fan and radiator damage. If it is still warped, it will be evident as soon as the bike is running again. The other possibility is a bad water pump or seal.
