you did not say if the cam trigger was replaced and if you are using the stock ignition it has one - we see this issue when the trigger overheats - if you take the nose cone cover off sometimes it will go 15 or even 20 Min before kicking out as the heat is not as great with the cover off -- i have a can of freon we take with us if it shuts off i give it a blast and it comes right back - the later injected bikes with the sencer in the block next to the alt plug a garden hose make them come back alive in 10 seconds --
look at the wire at the trigger in if it looks melted switch it out

Classic symptom of the ignition trigger in the timing cover failing.
Once any heat is introduced, it dies.
Pull the points cover off, fire the bike and verify that with a hair dryer.
We install Dyna 2000i's when this occurs.

Since you've replaced everything else and a couple of folks have suggested the same, try swapping out the sensor in the nosecone and see if that is it. They do melt and have issues occasionally. Here's a $20 "try and see" as we call it.

When it is running, you have spark. When it is not running, BEFORE YOU WAIT 10 MINUTES, do you have spark then? Your answer of "if I wait 10 minutes and it starts, I must have spark" is not helpful in diagnosing this.
There are 3 parts to the ignition system that tend to have thermal problems: Module, pickup and coil. What did you replace with an unknown used part?
