Question flasher/engine problem

Got what I believe is an electrical problem that i'm kinda stumped on. To start off, I have a '98 wideglide with s&s super E carb, crane ignition, and badlands aftermarket turn signal controller with built in load equalizer. The problem I'm having is once in a while, latest being a couple of nights ago, while riding highways (never happened yet riding around town) the engine will start cutting out VERY badly and acting like its starving for fuel and at the same time the 4way flashers will come on by themselves. Can anyone point me where to start on this one? so far I found no similar posts so no idea of cause.
