sorry Anthony I feel partly responsible because I assumed that you either had a basic understanding of electrics or that you'd at least read up a little on the subject from your workshop manual before trying anything .I should have made sure
We have very little information to work from as we don't know what modifications have been made to the standard wiring or what components have been fitted to your custom bike. Its clearly not standard anymore.Pictures and some information would help us help you
I would guess that if everything was working ok until the capacitor fell off and nothing else has been disconnected or altered since, then its likely your Rectifier probably got fried .
If you have a very tight budget you could buy some used parts to test with . Used rectifier/regulators can be picked up off ebay for $10 likewise coils also.

I would suggest that you do a little research and reading of the thread Skull provided before doing anything else.
Only change and test one thing at a time . If replacing a component doesn't provide a spark then put the original part back on before replacing another component. That way you know what made a difference if you get a result
