Default Died on me

First post, but need some help. Got an 04 Dyna jetted carbs and a set of short shot exhaust. Put 6000 miles on it since june when i got it. Ride everyday, rain or shine. Well i put some new plugs in when i was having a sputtering problem last weekend. Bike died on me and when i pulled the plugs, they looked a little bad so i switched them out. Had to fix an exhaust leak also, changed the gaskets. Bike was running great with no problems until i left for work yesterday. Hit 45mph for about a mile and let off the gas to hit the on ramp for the highway, and it started choking like it was starving for fuel. Couldn't get it started for about 10 mins and then all of a sudden if fired right up. Rode another 20 miles to work and then back home with no problems. It was really wet outside when i left but i have ridden in the rain several times before. ANY GUESSES!!!!
