My 92 FXRS is finally done. However now it'll run great for about 5 minutes then it dies and won't restart for awhile. Something is failing when it heats up. Any thoughts on what might be the issue?

Ignition module or coil, get a water mist bottle and mist the coil when it's running well, if it stumbles, replace coil, if not, replace module.. Or better yet, ditch the factory ignition entirely and install a aftermarket one..

Ignition module - the silicone breaks down and the bike will shut down once it heats up until you replace it. My Evo Road King and my friends Evo softail both had the same issue this year.

Have you noticed a cloudy brownish substance coming out around the timing/cam cover?

I had an old Volkswagen Type II that did that. After replacing all kinds of crap, a $15 used started fixed the problem. The positive battery cable-attach point just stopped conducting electricity when it got hot.
