Have a bone stock 2002 E-Glide that, once warmed up (after about a minute of running), drops the front cylinder. Troubleshot the ignition system and ruled out the coil (I think). I get good spark at the plug even when the front cylinder goes down. Chased all the wires and all are good. Could it be an injector? I'm thinking that it's a coil going bad, but don't wanna keep throwing parts at it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

First check for any codes using the attachment and look up chart. You probably have a code.
But if that does not give you a lead, I would change the plugs. Having good spark at a gap from a removed spark plug wire doesn't mean there is spark at the tip of the plug. Since I was pulling the plugs anyway, I would also check the compression in the front cylinder immediately after the engine got warm. That would eliminate any mechanical issues within the cylinder that you may have.

No. The pigtail wire is probably bad. Wire open under rubber from all the vibration & shaking.
BTW, who's code reader did you buy?

Thanks for the info & part#. Looks like a nice tool for sure.
In case you don't have a copy, here is a print for your 2002. If you unplug the coil & ECM connectors along with removing the fuel pump fuse and system relay, the injector wiring will then be isolated from the rest of the bike.
Continuity beeper testing with your meter will be easy from this point on. Fix this one problem and the tool just paid for itself!

There was a post not long ago (last 2 months or so)... another member found a complete replacement injector connector with wire pigtails that fit a cage. I think it was for a GM so it most likely was a Delphi product.
It made the job a lot easier.
I will see if I can find it.
