The bike has locked me in a shed and beat at my sanity for enough time now, I bought a theft recovery off fb marketplace (08 sprint 1050st ABS) it has no fairing or instrument cluster, my ignition is a screwdriver and the alarm (from the looks of it) was chopped off with something resembling a large axe, I can turn the ignition to as many different positions as I want and not get power to the ecm relay, no click. I have basically memorized at this point the non abs wiring diagram and am hoping I can find a wiring diagram for one with ABS.

I fear the bike is cooked

It has been suggested that late 2007 sprints onwards require a handshake between the clocks and the ecu for anything useful to happen. If this is indeed the case i think you would need to find a matching ecu and instruments.
Earlier sprints with a V.1 Keihin computer don't need the clocks to be present, as is the case with my 2006.

Sorry, yes, as Steve says, clocks = instrument cluster.

Your bike will not run without an instrument cluster, the ECU requires a specific coded signal from the cluster so no, a blanking plug won't work.

I can't find any definite information on whether the ECU is tied to a particular instrument set by means of an individual code or if any instruments from a bike with a V.2 Keihin ECU will be sufficient, I suspect the latter but perhaps someone else has some knowledge here.
